<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 626995, member: 19122&quot;]I would rather have &quot;dead&quot; presidents represented on our coinage than live ones. But I would rather have idealizations of certain virtues more than portraits of political figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I live in Illinois, and I think Lincoln was an archetype of american life, but the first coin to be changed should be the penny, I think it should be made of aluminum, it should&nbsp; represent liberty, I think the motto In God We Trust should be included I do not worry as much about the e pluribus unum motto being included, I think that if the penny design can be changed the rest would be easier to change.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;There are tons of people who study and write about Lincoln, they would try to keep Lincoln on the coinage, I think that if Lincoln was around he would prefer Miss Liberty on the penny rather than his own mug.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard that after this year the penny will have a redesign, so it may be a good time to let the treasury secretary know that the time is right to bring back some of the classical elements of american coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
