[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7787977, member: 115909"]You’re right I was wrong when I said that. But the reason I think it’s relevant is because it’s not like other (Non US) countries are confiscating tons of super expensive Native American stuff and returning it to the US like apparently the US is doing for them. It’s also important to remember that Native Americans were not the only culture. From 1776 onwards modern American culture has been the predominant culture but I don’t see foreign countries confiscating old American coins in their country and sending them back. That’s what I meant about no laws protecting modern American cultural objects. I wasn’t really comparing it to Native American cultural objects in the first place. Someone in Egypt with enough money could buy any American coin they wanted no matter how rare or important (like an 1804 Proof Silver Dollar) and I guarantee Egyptian customs would not intercept it and ship it back to the US. Sure America may not have as much history as ancient civilizations but that doesn’t mean it’s any less important.[/QUOTE]
