In reply to Chris. I wouldn’t blame racism for low coin sales. Putting “Negro” on a coin isn’t a good look. I think it’s more racist to buy this coin as it celebrates exclusion.

In reply to Rich.

I’ll submit the hoops coin was a bust cause design was blah. A guy, a girl, someone in a wheelchair all headed for the rim? Weak, trying to be too inclusive & not offend, imo of course.

A bold design of someone doing a windmill jam or reverse dunk…something actually cool, would have increased sales. Mighta even reached kids, who aren’t really into coins.

In reply to Rich. Major D, with respect to your question on the process of design selection for commemorative coin programs, you are correct in that when Congress legislates a commemorative coin they have no idea what the design will be at the time. "Commemorative coin legislation generally has a specific format. Once a coin is authorized, it follows a specific process for design and minting. This process includes consultation and recommendations by the Citizens Coin Advisory Commission (CCAC) and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), pursuant to any statutory instructions, before the Secretary of the Treasury makes the final decision on a coin’s design" The best reference on the U.S. Mint Commemorative Coin Program is Commemorative Coins: Background, Legislative Process, and Issues for Congress, Congressional Research Service, January 27, 2021 (CRS Report R44623). BTW, I also like the commemoratives you mentioned, especially the Jamestown, US Marshal's Service, and Mark Twain.
