I like it and its a contender Happy(*) Happy(*) it will be voted on
but you need to remove the "One Dollar" and "United States of America"
Put the date 2010 and you have a great submission ;)

I like the obverse alot - you can try with UNITED STATES OF COINSAREFUN // ONE GREAT FUN (instead of DOLLAR)

Keep trying  :ThumbsUp;

I like how you did the lettering on the conder.  Was it difficult?

Very difficult. This was actually my first time trying anything like it so it took me a couple of hours, seriously! a couple of hours. Good thing I didn't have training today, no kids and no garden work  :D

I'll try to make a couple more tomorrow and play with GIMP to see what I come up with now. Maybe some of Stef's toners with weird lettering. I don't know, we'll see what my head thinks of making.

BTW, thanks and I'm glad you liked it.

I bet it took some time!  I'm going through the same ordeal, working with this editing software.  Pretty cool, though.  Looking forward to seeing more! :ThumbsUp;

Oh, and here's a special one (for me).  It's a design that I've looked for but haven't come across again since the first one I saw and missed out on.  I made this one just to show, really.  I just love the port scene, and of course the ship!

The obverse is basically intact and almost as minted, minus the lettering and a couple of adjustments for sizing.  The Reverse is just something I threw together to try to match the style.

Rigos - nice work - I use gimp myself - PLEEEEEEEASE would you be so nice and share what function did you use to make that lettering. Or did you crop and turn every letter separately as a new layer.

Thanx, Rok
