America Turns 200!
To me, these coins--like all our coins--are symbols of our nation's 200 years of freedom. They are small pieces of our historical and cultural heritage--passing from hand-to-hand and linking us to the cherished ideals of our forefathers. LIBERTY was the cry of the American Revolution--and LIBERTY has been so proclaimed and inscribed on each and every coin since the creation of the U.S. Mint in 1792. -Mary Brooks, Director of the U.S. Mint, June 9, 1975.
