You asked for it...here it is!

The prototype design for a commemorative silver coin set. The front side of each "Tarpistan" coin will be styled after the design of a Kennedy half. The reverse side will feature a particularly imbecilic quotation by the featured moron.

The initial set will include Bernanke, Paulson, Geithner, Greenspan, Madoff and Ponzi. I envision a quality set of coins that will serve as a precious metal investment as well as artifacts depicting historic derision of the aforesaid monetary morons. In other words, these coins will not be mere chunks of precious metal.

The other coins are on the design table in the Banzai7 Institute Center for Numismatic Comedy.

The design of these coins will be Phase I. I have no experience minting quality commemorative coins and I have no intention of going through the process of figuring out how to do so (Phase II) unless I know there is a substantial amount of genuine interest in the execution of this endeavor to final product (Phase III).

You know what I mean by genuine. If you are interested in egging me on, please so indicate in the comment section below.

Special thanks to Howard Beale for assisting the Banzai7 Institute in the implementation of this project, which if done the right way is much more technically involved than one would think.

I have another nascent idea for a flipping (heads we win tails you lose)  coin with Ponzi (Heads) Bernanke (Tails). As always your input is heartily welcome.
