Speaking of proactivity

I couldn't resist mentioning this but in the October 8 Coin World there is a front page article about Mint Director Edmund Moy's speech to FIDEM (Internation Medal Federation). In it, he mentioned a "neo-renaissance" of US coinage similar to the one started a century ago by Teddy Roosevelt and Augustus St. Gaudens. He was very vague on the details but stated that his full proposal will be announced in early October.

My hope is that Moy is genuinely interested in coinage redesign and a return to the dignified coins we once had. For the time being, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I eagerly await his plan.
