<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 269859, member: 8843&quot;]I agree.&nbsp; I realize some things are considered &#039;unnecessary&#039; on coins as written above ~ I have complete respect for numistmatics and true quality coins.&nbsp; But coins are also about art ~ otherwise, they wouldn&#039;t commission artists to design them.&nbsp; Our statehood quarter program is completely indicative of this example.&nbsp; Coins are more than currency; they serve as inexpensive (in some cases) methods of obtaining examples of famous artists creations.&nbsp; I love that Czech coin ~ the detail is incredible and the subject is delightful.&nbsp; I find some of these type coins encourage the young numismatists more than the rigid type coins.&nbsp; While a 8 or 9 year old can&#039;t appreciate the symbolic representation of the Eagle or Lady Liberty on our coinage ~ they can enjoy the art, animals, flowers, etc., on other coinage and it helps reinforce their interest as they mature in the hobby.&nbsp; </p><p>Thanks for listening (reading). Now back to our regularly scheduled program.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
