What's sad is that the obverse of the 250th dime is probably the best of the redesigns. For the first time since 1946, we'd have a circulating coin with an idealized figure of Goddess Liberty instead of a dead politician.

The typography is atrocious though. And the lack of a cohesive design language sucks. The Charles III coinage from the UK are so much better as a thematic set.

Having the personification of manifest destiny (i.e. genocide) on a coin isn't great either.

Yeah, but it was the norm prior to 1909 and was a little more aspirational than "he just got perforated, let's slap his face on the half dollar."
