<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 844484, member: 9167"]I've never really thought too much about the symbolism on coinage before, so it's hard to say. I guess if I had to choose one it would be the buffalo nickel. Both sides tell a lot in symbolism. At the time of it's inception both the buffalo and the indian were fighting a losing battle as the west expanded and both were losing their ground literally and figuratively. It's kind of a jesture of what the country was losing instead of boasting about it's progress like what is usually the case. I like the irony in it I suppose.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
