<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2401962, member: 36230"]You do realize that these terrible white men did much to contribute to the nation that allows you to presently speak against them; ironic, isn't it? You also do realize, that for a majority of our nation's history, a (gasp!!) woman was depicted on our coinage, right? And this (gasp, again!!) was at a time when these horrible old white <span style="color: #ff0000">edited: language</span> were alive and had nothing to contribute but ruining other people's lives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe, instead of trying to pander to every different group who wishes to identify themselves not by their humanity but by their race or sex, we should simply go back to symbolism on <i><u>everything</u></i>. I would be perfectly fine with an effigy of Ms. Liberty returning to our coins (or appearing on our notes as well) but, of course, someone will complain because said effigy is too white, or too black, or too whatever. Perhaps the eagle? Nah.... someone somewhere will dream up some ridiculous and oh so terribly "offensive" issue with this too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
