[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 2467630, member: 22602"]That's really interesting (and I think you mean iconography. Iconoclasm means to destroy imagery). There is also the argument that the feel of a coin in one's pocket is a tactile pleasure similar to reading an actual book as opposed to an e-reader. However, given that it's inevitable that digital transactions will displace tangible cash, I think the symbolism you speak of, which I agree is important to national and cultural identity, will necessarily shift to other vehicles. But what will these vehicles be?[/QUOTE]
