<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 844437, member: 19855&quot;]One part of coin collecting I really enjoy is symbolism. (I also enjoy themes of coinage but that&#039;s another thread for another day.) It&#039;s everywhere in coins! In all honesty, I&#039;m more receptive toward the reverse of the coin in considering what to collect because it is here that symbolism thrives, seeing that the obverse is usually just a person. A couple of my personal favorites would have to be the Mercury Dime...obverse symbolizing freedom of thought while the reverse symbolizes readiness to fight, peace, and authority. In all, a great symbolic coin. However, I&#039;m currently favoring a new coin, the reverse of the 2010 Native American Dollar. It is interesting to research the history of the Iroquois Confederacy/League, the symbols on the Hiawatha Belt, what the number and type of arrows represent toward those five tribes...in all, greatly fascinating. (Yes, I hear the moans of those detesting the modern coins, but to each his own.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, this brings me to my question, what is your favorite symbolism on a coin, ah what the heck, even paper bills and why?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
