<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1370967, member: 26302&quot;]My own opinion, (meaning its valid only in my mind), is while I respect Jason&#039;s motives for this project, I wish to remove all portraiture off of US coinage. Personally I just believe Lady Liberty, representing the ideals of this nation, is the best choice. Any portrait of any person will not only divide us based upon personal beliefs, but not be as good as it could be. I would respectfully submit Andrew Jackson on the $20 as evidence of this. My ancestors were on the Trial of Tears, and upwards of half of them died at the hands of US soldiers under orders of this President who has the distinction of the only sitting President to publicly refuse to obey a Supreme Court ruling, stealing my ancestors lands and sentencing a large percentage to death as a result. </p><p><br /></p><p>I only bring that up to illustrate the divisiveness of any real person on our coinage, and show the pitfalls of it. Not one person is wholly good, and any human being will be viewed multiple ways. Therefor I would prefer Lady Liberty, who is inclusive in her portrayal of the ideals of this nation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope my post was not too political, it was not meant to be. If it is, please feel to edit or delete it mods.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
