<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 368357, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;m wondering why it didn&#039;t occur to the coin designer to check if anyone still owned the rights to the sculpture or not, especially since the sculpture is well known.&nbsp; If it were me that would be the first thing I did after I had the idea before I even put the design on paper.&nbsp; Seems to be a rather huge oversight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems a rather odd thing for a nation to commemorate its citizens <i>leaving</i>.&nbsp; Contrast that to many countries that commemorate people immigrating <i>into</i> their country and becoming citizens.&nbsp; Not saying it&#039;s a wrong thing to do, perhaps Japan has reason to be proud of the event from their cultural standpoint, but it does seem odd to me.&nbsp; Especially since Japan doesn&#039;t exactly go out of its way to honor people who immigrate <i>into</i> Japan (even when they&#039;re of Japanese descent).&nbsp; It almost borders on hypocrisy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
