How do you think future coins would look like? (If money would be used in future and coins)
Coins have been used since Mesopotamia. They have changed from
to for example, this 25 euro commemorative:
with tiny features. This is an amazing coin.
The material has also changed from clay to gold and silver, from gold and silver to copper-nickel and other cheap metals.
There are many different options what future coins may look like. They may be from silver and gold or even cheaper metals than now, they may be very simple or have microscopic features.
Material
Depending on how the earth is going to change during the next ~50 years, we may be using very different materials in coins. The worst possible material would be plastic, I'd say. We could live in a dystopia with simple but possibly colourful plastic coins under the rule of a dictator. I hate thinking about that option
Horrible
But if we manage to make the world great again, there are (again) many different options.
physical bitcoins, these look beautiful.
I like to imagine coins would be like this:
Coins that could store information, or historical events. Imagine a commemorative coin with a MLK speech you could listen. That would be interesting.
What do you think future coins would look like/what would you like them to look like?
Say your opinions and ideas. No debating please.
