Black woman put on a coin no one will see



In Gold We Trust

  • I have no problem with a Black Lady Liberty. My problem is she will be on a $100 gold coin that no one will ever see.
  • How about a return to general circulation money made of gold and silver instead of phony printing press money? 


(The Daily Caller)  -  The U.S. Mint put a black Lady Liberty on the face of its $100 gold coin to celebrate its 225th anniversary.

This year’s coin features a black woman for the first time, reports USA Today. Usually, a white woman is featured on the main design for the coin.

Elsia Basnight, who works as the Mint’s chief of staff, called the new design “groundbreaking.” Many of the federal advisory committees on coins have wanted to bring more diversity to United States coins, Basnight explained.

“Our hope is that this coin really gets people thinking and talking about what liberty looks like and represents to them,” Basnight declared. “Lady Liberty, depicted in coinage throughout the years, is modeled after our society’s continued evolution – and as we as a nation continue to evolve, so does its representation.”

The front side of the coin portrays Lady Liberty’s face with the dates 1792 and 2017 and the phrase “In God We Trust.” On the opposite side of the coin is a flying eagle and the phrases “United States of America” and “E Pluribus Unum.”
