<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2127804, member: 42773&quot;]Some more information on the previous token, discovered on the <a href="http://www.mansfieldnumismaticsociety.org/hardtimestokens.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mansfieldnumismaticsociety.org/hardtimestokens.htm" rel="nofollow">Mansfield Numismatic Society</a> website...</p><p><br /></p><p>“&#039;I take the responsibility&#039; is what Jackson said when he put the Bank of the United States funds into 25 pet state banks. &#039;The Constitution as I understand it&#039; was his explanation of why he took the anti-federalist stance of putting the money into State banks. Roman firmness was a jibe of the day to describe him. The word VETO below the Jackass referred to his veto of the third bank of the United States.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that Jackson was very much acting on the advice of at least some of the nation&#039;s founding fathers in attempting to decentralize banking. If the creators of this token could see the Federal Reserve today, with all of its excesses and immunity to accountability, they might have a very different opinion of Jackson&#039;s tack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
