Pure copper pennies are known as “Wheaties”. Susan B Anthony dollars are known as “Suzie Bs” Sacajawea dollars are known as “Squawbucks”

If these were circulating coins they would likely become known as “Weavies”.

It’s a nice profile. Lady Liberty wore corn-rows? Who knew?

I agree. Just have a different design on each denomination. I can see how the Barber series of the 19th century got to be a bit boring. Lincoln replacing Indian-head Liberty on the cent was the beginning of a century-long mistake, although Lincoln’s portrait is still the best of the bunch.

I don’t see a skin color on the coin. How do we know she is black, unless we use racist stereotypes about the physical traits of blacks. /s

Moochelle will have her own coin soon enough

Engravers have practical limitations. No Walking Totalitarian Wookie for sure.

I am a coin collector. Wanted to watch the unveiling of this coin which was live yesterday at 1:00 PM. AT 1:15 still not up and running. Typical gubment screw-up.

Since this is meant to be contemporary, shouldn’t the eagle be flying into a wind mill?

The left will protest the motto appearing on all coins “In God we trust”. Hmm, Obama still has a few days left to remove this.

It seems the important thing about this coin is that gold eagle 1 oz are face value of $50.00 This coin has a face of $100. Is the government admitting
to inflation (however little)

Well see, context and timing is everything.

It would be nothing if they havent already been effing with trying to pull the political crap with Tubman on the $20.

It’s mentioned that an Asian one is on the drawing board.

But I wonder if “Asian” will be Chinese. There is no such thing as liberty in China.
