<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 7542, member: 578&quot;]We have only two Founding Fathers on our coins. Prices for these two series have doubled and tripled as of late. I would think any coin dealer would find that to be good news.</p><p>I&#039;m sure that if our Founding Fathers could see our country now, having their images on coins would be the least of things they would have to find fault with. I have really tried to understand how having their liknesses on coins belittles them, and I just can&#039;t find any merit to that argument.</p><p>As far as Congress being afraid of offending someone, well, I&#039;ve never known that to be the case. They pass laws every day, that offend someone. The only thing they&#039;re afraid of, is getting voted out of office, and when less than half the eligible public even bothers to vote, they usually don&#039;t have to worry much about that either.</p><p>Now I will agree that the quality of our modern coins is horrible, but that has nothing to do with the &quot;dead presidents&quot; that are on them. It does, however, have everything to do with cranking out as many as possible, as cheaply as possible. Oh yeah, and then convincing collectors that they are worth paying a premium for.</p><p>As usual, I don&#039;t often bring this subject up, but I will respond with my own opinion, when I feel the desire to do so, and as always, I have the very highest respect for your views on the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
