<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2123222, member: 73266&quot;]When the US gained it&#039;s independence, there were a few entrepreneurs in England that saw an opportunity to try and get a contract for minting currency for the new nation.&nbsp; They put George Washington&#039;s bust on some coins and sent them to all that they assumed to be influential in the politics of the new nation in hopes to get a contract.&nbsp; When George Washington saw his image on these coins he was outraged and became the one who faught the hardest to put it into law. Some of these coins are still around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
