<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2402460, member: 36230"]If, as you said, symbols are so important, then why is the symbol of Ms. Liberty - a WOMAN if you like it or not - unacceptable, and what is so terribly wrong with returning to the (at least should-be) neutral? Just because something has been done, rather foolishly imo, since 1947, does that mean we must continue and do so to pander to hypocrites?</p><p><br /></p><p>If it "<i>doesn't make much material difference who or what our coins and currency commemorate</i>", then why keep injecting race into the discussion? Each time you whine about the horrid white men presently depicted, you show your true colors and that race is at the very heart of your issue. Had you only wished to voice an opinion that more modern/recent individuals should grace our money, race should play no part. If you want to get rid of them, that's great; it wouldn't break my heart to see a change, but replacing one once-living person with another, primarily because of their race or sex, is nothing more than history repeating itself and for all the wrong reasons even if it fits perfectly with today's politically correct nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
