<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1812643, member: 39&quot;]But wouldn&#039;t a decisive difference be that in the UK you have the current head of state on coins and notes while in the US you have deceased former heads of state? The latter I do not find strange &quot;per se&quot;; another question would of course be who to pick. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But that would be the same if you picked scientists or artists ...</p><p><br /></p><p>My only problem with allegories such as Liberty is that you may end up with designs that were already used a century ago. The spirit that you mentioned might as well be represented by the word Liberty - and that you find on every current American coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ironically, the only recent design where Liberty is represented by an image rather than a word is the Statue of Liberty on the Presidential Dollars. Neat idea, and I like the design ... except this type is not minted for circulation any more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
