<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davedawg, post: 290099, member: 9026&quot;]That&#039;s true, and to them I say try picking up a history book and actually learning something of value. It&#039;s like the old saying &quot;those who don&#039;t know history....&quot; It&#039;s kind of scary who kids idolize today and where they get their set of values from. I know this isn&#039;t the forum for this but this is not just an American phenomenon. I just saw a documentary on survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the doc. they interviewed high school aged kids in Japan and asked them what had occurred in their country in 1945, although probably edited to prove a point, none of them knew about the bombs dropped and the devastation that occurred. Although coins are not minted to educate people on historical people or events (like some say the Presidential dollars are supposed to do) they are a looking glass into the past that tell a story of the history of our nation. Lincoln is an historical icon and should be portayed as such on the new coins of 2009. But that&#039;s just my two cents, grade them however you want...no pun intended! : )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
