<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1534187, member: 12789&quot;]President Theodore Roosevelt was a devout believer, yet he did not believe that God belonged on money.&nbsp; Going back to 1907 and the minting of the St. Gaudens $20 - the placement of the motto on the coin did indeed cause controversy - mainly from religious individuals who objected - these days it is people who are not religious that are objecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bigger issue that Medoraman brings up is what for me is much more important - the apparent deifying of political figures on our coinage.&nbsp; Liberty or Miss Liberty if you prefer, is a mere symbolic figure representative of an ideal.&nbsp; I cannot myself believe that politicians are anywhere near approaching such, in fact there are a couple of the more recent ones that had history passed judgement before the coin came out would likely not be on coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
