RE: Steem Round Update - Generic Steem Round Proposal!?!
The thought was there to be no date at all! So it would be minted whenever! The yearly Steem Round would have a date on the obverse for that year
For a serious collector a year, even if it is in an unlimited number, would make a difference, and it would also make the unique coins that much more unique as time passes by. If a person can get a coin say in the year 2020 that is no different than the one in 2018, then what is the value of the one in 2018, only the value of the metal, no other intrinsic value at all. So a person has no need to buy any coins in 2020, if they already have some from 2018. The year on the basic coin will have little if an affect on the number of the unique yearly coins of the limited edition.
Yes! You are correct about that! The original idea was something more along of what Sunshine Mint does. Basically just a generic round that stays the same. Whether it’s this year or next, more just get minted when he demand is there. It’s not collectible like the yearly steem round, but something to stack or start conversations about steem!
We don't want it getting confused for the annual coins though, that'd be my concern.
It'd also add to the cost if we change the design each year. I imagine these would be low premium, so we'd like them to be competitive in that market.
