First prototype
I had previously noted that my design had been chosen for the unit coin, and today I was shown the first prototype.

For the most part I am surprised by the quality and reasonably accurate representation of my design. I knew certain elements wouldn't come across well, but most of them seem to have worked.

However, there are at least two things I hope can be changed before this thing goes to press en mass. First, it has what must be the poorest representation of a B-1 I have ever seen, and I've been exposed to B-1s since I was eleven years old when I built my first B-1 model airplane, so I'm not unfamiliar with how the thing is supposed to look. Second, and much more minor, is the way the gray/shaded parts of the eagle on the reverse side overly blend with the silver.

Those things get fixed and I'll be pretty eager to my hands on the final version.

Principally intended for use by our friends and families, our news blog is sometimes a record of our memorable family moments, and sometimes a place for me to rant about something or other (usually inconsequential). By reading these accounts, you agree not to be offended, and not to use this information against us in any way. :)
