Coin art: parody quarters, united American continental currency
Coin designer Daniel Carr mints small private runs of "fantasy currency" (the Amero is the notional currency of the equally notional Union of North America) and "parody quarters" (a quarter depicting Daniel Carr in cool shades, an East Virginia quarter bearing the legend, "Tell WV to get off my back," the Oregon "recycling" quarter, the "Keep away from Indianapolis" quarter", etc).Link (via Beyond the Beyond)
My goal with these coins is not to endorse a Union of North America or a common "Amero" currency. I fully support the United States Constitution, and I would not welcome (in any form) a diminishment of its provisions. I expect that these coins will help make more people aware of the issue and the possible ramifications. I leave it up to others to decide if they are in favor of, or against a North American Union. And I encourage citizens to voice their approval or disapproval of government plans that impact them.
