Other mints from around the globe release coins honoring everything from animals to sports. Heck, now foreign mints are releasing coins dedicated to American ingenuity! Perhaps its time for the US Mint to catch up with some of its foreign competition and release coinage dedicated to American feats and unique sights. A series of official coins dedicated to the history of baseball, for example. If the Mint is worried about its bottom line, I’m sure there are ample coin collectors eager to buy whatever they produce (with the exception of a Louis Braille Bicentennial Commemorative Dollar, what the heck was that!?)
