<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldenFire, post: 1212098, member: 21162&quot;]I don’t necessarily hate the presidential dollars, but I don’t consider myself much of a fan either. </p><p><br /></p><p>The SBA dollars I liked because they had a historical woman figure on the obverse, but I believe they could have done a better job at depicting her...when I was younger and first saw the coin I thought it was a portraying a witch. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Ike dollars I absolutely love because of the reverse – I think that is one of the most beautiful designs found on modern coinage! I believe there is nothing more powerful and visually stunning as an eagle landing on the moon.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really liked the Sacagawea dollars because once again a historical woman figure was depicted on the obverse, and I thought it was about time for the U.S. Government to show some respect to the Native Americans – even if it was through a small action such as putting a Native American on the dollar coin. Obviously, the latter part is heavily influenced by the fact that I am part Native American. Finally, the flying eagle on the back was another powerful and visually stunning image in my opinion, and I agree with WingedLiberty that the older Sacagawea dollar reverses were far more appealing than the newer reverses that change annually.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, I think ConfederateHalf sums it up nicely by stating “Lastly, why can’t the mint go back to using allegorical images of “LIBERTY” – the value our nation was founded upon? All this worship of dead presidents nauseates me. It reminds me of people bowing and scraping before the crowned head of Europe – which is something we fought a revolution to bring an end to in this country.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
