New US dollar coin design generated using IDL [message #11158]

You may not be aware that legislation was recently passed for
the US Mint to again produce a circulating one dollar coin.

The design of this new coin has yet to be determined, however
a few design proposals have already been presented, including
a Statue of Liberty design. That design is good, but I feel
that it misses the mark. As we go into the next millennium,
what we need is a design that doesn't reflect on the past,
but looks forward to the future.

I recently put together a web site dedicated to my proposal
for this design, featuring an astronaut. To create this design,
I used the object graphics and special software that I wrote in IDL.
The final results are very good. The images, however, are not the
sort of thing you would normally expect to see generated in IDL.

If you have a spare moment, take a look at :

If you think that this should be the design of the new coin,
then I need your help ! Print copies of the images and send
them to your elected officials (see web page for details).
There are numerous political forces pulling in different
directions concerning the coin's design. Each and every
letter to an official can make a difference.
