<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 363810, member: 4626"]You're right, what he did was not for one country only. But for me that is a reason <i>NOT</i> to commemorate him on a coin, because a country's coinage should limit itself to commemorating what's important to that country specifically. I'm not saying that what Wisenthal did is not worth of being honored; just that I don't think a commemorative coin is an appropriate way to go about doing it. Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, and that is mine. I think that if he is to be honored that a commemorative coin of any one given country is too narrow in scope considering his contribution to history doesn't relate solely to one specific country, and that's why I voted "no" here. I'm sure there's many ways of honoring and commemorating him that wouldn't be tied to a single specific country the way a commemorative coin would be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
