The U.S. Coins

The four U.S. coins are the quarter, penny, dime, and nickel. All of the coins have many different and interesting features. One coin stands out above the others and that is the penny.

The Four Sayings

There are four sayings on quarter, penny, dime, and nickel. All the coins have the same saying "United States of America". Well it obvious that these coins will say United States of America because they are our coins! The second saying all the coins have in common is "E Pluribus Unum". E Pluribus Unum means one comprised of many. I think this symbolizes that the U.S. is made of many states, but we are all one alike. The third saying is "Liberty". There has been many uses of the word liberty in America. Such as the Statue of Liberty, it is used in the song Our Country Tis of Thee, which goes "Our country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty", and also on the four coins! The last saying is "In God We Trust". In God We Trust is the official motto of the United States of America.

Colors/ Symbolization of Presidents

If you look at the quarter, penny, dime, and nickel, you will see that the quarter, dime, and nickel are all silver. The penny is copper. Abraham Lincoln is the president on the penny. Since Abraham Lincoln was a great president, they might have put him on the penny because the penny isn't like the others.

Stance

The presidents on the U.S.'s are Abraham Lincoln on the penny, Thomas Jefferson on the nickel, George Washington on the quarter, and Franklin D. Roosevelt on the dime. If you look, all the presidents on the silver coins are facing the left. However, Abraham Lincoln is facing toward the right. This might be because he has a big scare on the left side of his face, but is it not strange that everything on the penny is different besides the sayings?

Hopefully this hub got you interested in the U.S. coins and what they symbolize. Thanks for reading!
