[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 4040240, member: 4298"]I'm not an US citizen, and I don't know enough about the US constitution and laws, hence I won't plead the case [USER=99239]@Suarez[/USER] arose in his OP. I find the whole thread VERY interesting (a lot of reading) as a debate and I've not learned more about US values and people's beliefs in decades (not sure I get everything that is written in these 200 posts because my understanding of english isn't good enough though). From an european point of view there are many things I would like to comment on, but will not, as moderators would certainly find it political or religious and I wouldn't want my posts to be edited when I can prevent that from happening ("[I]while in Rome.....[/I]" and although I've been a CT member for 15 years I'm only a visitor, a tourist here :) ) From the coin collector point of view (that's not political I guess), what is written or drawn on a coin tells us about the issuer, their political messages, their propaganda. We all have coins featuring people we don't like (or wouldn't want to see face to face) or promoting ideas we dieagree with (I have coins showing Caligula, Caracalla, or modern dictators...and even one Che Guevara, or symbols we hate (e.g. swastika)). IGWT on US coins tells me about the US civilization independently from any emotional feeling. No more no less Please go on, this thread is a treat !! Q[/QUOTE]
