<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1367994, member: 2098&quot;]Desertgem makes some good points but politics is very much intertwined with our coins and currency. This needs to be fully understood by the mods on here. Examples: Mining interests want dollar coins minted while the paper making company in Massachusetts wants paper notes to be printed. Both entities have no doubt been involved in the lobbying of Congress and Congressional decisions which may be made as a result may well impact consumers or collectors on this very forum. Thomas Jefferson will always be on the nickel as Senators/Repesentatives from the Commonwealth of Virginia would Congressionally fight any attempt to remove him, same thing with Lincoln on the penny and the state of Illinois. The examples of politics being intertwined with currency can go on and on. In conclusion, bringing up politics on this forum from time to time is unavoidable as coins and currency are so heavily intertwined with politics, both in the present-day and historically.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: I found this post of a fairly political nature and it has nothing to do with coins or currency... <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t160346/#post1120015" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t160346/#post1120015">http://www.cointalk.com/t160346/#post1120015</a> Strangely this post from last March was never edited and it seems <i>far</i> more political than anything I posted on this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
