<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 497203, member: 39&quot;]Sometimes it&#039;s the idea or concept that counts, and then it does not matter that much any more whether the person behind the idea was French or American or Indian or ...&nbsp; For example, Portugal issued a collector coin to commemorate Baden-Powell. He was British but they honored him as the founder of the scouting movement.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion it is silly to say that &quot;foreigners&quot; should not be on coins. What I have problems with is countries that issue dozens of collector pieces featuring people from all over the world every year. But neither India nor the US is in that camp.</p><p><br /></p><p>That Italian coin was even a circulation piece, but the &quot;dots&quot; are too small AFAIK to be read with your fingers. Compare them to the Braille texts on pill packages for example. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
