It is certainly possible to mint $1 and $2 coins successfully, and even sometimes beautifully. Canada and the UK both have done so.

But the US mint is sunk in both wokeness and ugliness, and unless a new Auguste St. Gaudens or AA Weinmann shows up, we are kind of screwed.

At least St. Gaudens glorifies the American gold Eagle bullion coin. And Weinman glorifies the American silver Eagle bullion coin. The latest silver bullion coins sport classic designs by Morgan and Frazier.
