- Interesting:
- Should included the notable fact that these would be the first colorized coins from the Mint. Hook might also be simplified by removing the "two of the three 2020" text.

- Bagumba I fixed the original research problem and created an alternative hook that I believe would be more interesting. - ZLEA T\C 13:28, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- @ZLEA: For ALT1, is it inaccurate to just say "United States coins", as it specifically applies to US Mint coins? Also, in the article it currently says
these would be the first legal tender United States coins to feature color.
I'm not that knowledgeable about coins, but if someone takes a US Mint coin and colorizes it, is it still legal tender? Alternatively, maybe we more specifically say it may be the first time the Mint will use color.—Bagumba (talk) 09:35, 16 August 2019 (UTC)- Bagumba Thanks for pointing that out, I've fixed ALT1 accordingly. - ZLEA T\C 12:54, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
ALT1 approved. I also went and copyedited the article re: "legal tender". Feel free to provide a source and restore if it was true.—Bagumba (talk) 13:22, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
