The 1-peso coin in this style ran until 1940.&nbsp; In addition, the 2 and 5 carried the same reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the same token, the US &quot;Mercury&quot; dime sported the literal symbol of fascism.&nbsp; Below is the symbol of the Socialist Labor Party of America, founded in 1878.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
