[QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 40333, member: 2146"]Joe, That's fine. I like to see people interested enough that they take time to think about things like this. Our country's history is fascinating and a lot of that history is "embodied" in our coins. Many people don't take the time to ponder what the designs on our coins mean. I am a fan of the symbolic depiction of LIBERTY on our coins (e.g., Walking Liberty, Morgan Dollar, Peace Dollar, etc.), but I'm also a fan of Presidents being depicted on our coins. If not for some of these men (Jefferson and Lincoln just to name two) everyone in this country would be living a very different life (if they would be living, at all). So, I think it's wonderful that young people like yourself take an interest in history and coins. And I think it's great that you took the time and effort to create your idea and share it with the rest of us. What a wonderful country we live in that anyone can speak his mind about a President. In this case, Ronald Reagan. Some liked the man, some didn't. In my opinion, I thought he was one of the finest to ever serve in the office and I believe he should be memorialized on a coin (or currency for that matter). Anyway, BRAVO for speaking your mind and expressing your opinion.[/QUOTE]
