<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dayriser, post: 764160, member: 21610&quot;]Funny, I just realized the error of my ways... I titled the original post as Foreign vs. U.S. coins... That clearly makes it sound like I was making the direct comparison of quality of the two or the collection one might accumulate of one or the other... That also explain the accusation of not being a patriot if they were reading my title rather than the gist of the first post... </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really just wanted to know what people thought of the difference in philosophy when it comes to coin design in some countries... I used the example of the small golden coin from Israel because I am curious why the U.S. has had copper colored pennies for over 150 years... What would be wrong with maybe a brass colored variety, even if some of the same images were used? And really, I am not a big fan of changing the design every year just to make money for the mint, but I would rather see them change every six months indefinitely than to stick me with a shield and banner on the cent for the next 200 years... I&#039;d rather see an apple pie, or a baseball bat if I gotta stare at it for 2 centuries... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; (collectively, I) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>b[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
