<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1370442, member: 5233"]I personally don't think MLK should have his face put on a circulating coin...but my reason for that is there is simply no coin to put him on. I wouldn't remove any of the current people on our coins and replace them. However, I do believe he is more than deserving of his own commemorative coin. Not a coin commemorating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any other government decision...but a coin commemorating his life and the good that came out of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Say what you will about MLK the man...because he was far from perfect. But nobody his perfect. That said, he was the face of the non-violent civil rights movement. Did others physically do more? Probably. But nobody inspired more people. Sometimes being the person that motivates others to go out and do good is more important than he good that individual did. The reason is, more got done because of his words than what he could have done alone. I personally think he is more deserving of a commemorative coin than many of those who have already been put on commemorative coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
