I saw my first Lewis & Clark special edition Nickel today while at Krispy Kreme. I gotta say, the US Mint must be bored as shit. If they're going to waste their time making special edition coins they oughta make some interesting ones at least. We should give the "minters," or "mintites" if you will, some narcotics and let them go crazy with new coin ideas. This will probably result in a Jerry Garcia edition, or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas edition, or even the Grilled Cheese special edition nickel though. Not exactly great ideas, but they're better than Lewis & Clark.

(here's where we get interactive)
Leave comments on more ideas for special edition coins.

Dolly Mixture Editions (and on the same theme, Liquiorice Allsorts editions).
Cocktails of the World editions.
Historical Dictators editions.
Lord of the Rings Editions, since everyone loves it so much.

Wesley Willis Commemorative "Daddy of Rock and Roll" Silver dollar.

It'd be twice the thickness of a normal silver dollar, and would have Wesley's face on the front, and a Casio keyboard on the back.
