[null and void]

It's amazing how beautiful coins were at the end of the 19th Century and beginning of the 20th Century. It's been all downhill since then.

Yeah. What you said there.

And everything you said after that!

[null and void]

All the stunning allegorical figures were replaced with "dead white guys". 1909 is when the decline of coinage began, Lincoln honored 44 years after his death, to Kennedy, on the 50¢ piece barely waiting until his body was interred.

Next step?

A living God politician on our coins. *sigh*
