<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1479714, member: 26302&quot;]I cannot help but notice the correlation between US coinage and ancient Rome&#039;s. In the early days of Rome they commemorated ideals such as equality and fairness. This was the period of the rise of the power of Rome, and its growing wealth. Later on, when in decline they started celebrating famous powerful Romans who had led them to greatness, maybe out of hope of another rising. Near the end, almost all coins were struck commemorating either their god, (asking for help), or glorifying their military.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, how does everyone feel about US commemorative design choices now? Again, I am a war vet, and still simply dislike the militaristic theme this nation has taken. I will not be buying any of these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
