No one would know about him if he wasn’t an option for the new quarters. I never know about him until just reading this to vote for the new design. He was so much into making what this country is all about. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all who are born in this country or have come to this country.
The others are truly great Americans also and have contributed to our vast complexity that the US has become, but I feel we really need to realize and appreciate how our wonderful country was started, not only the building of the US Capital, and continues to grow.
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to voice our opinions. Keep up the good work and I know I’d never thought I would collect coins but I treasure these and hope to pass them on to others in the future.
