Yes indeed, this coin depicting Lady Liberty has a long tradition, you can Google for pics. Here's the 2015 iteration : Of course, the information that the new coin was not a US mint coin is completely made up and false.

This is not a US mint coin, who cares what's on it.
A black woman or Mickey Mouse.

On the contrary, this IS a US minted coin. The W indicates that it was minted at West Point, which where all US gold coins are minted.

Quote: wikipedia - excerpt
The West Point Mint Facility was erected in 1937 near the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, United States. Originally it was called the West Point Bullion Depository.

It's a collectible, like a Beanie Baby. Who cares who's pic is on it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

That's my point. Cayanero says all the racists
will be up in arms over it. He doesn't get
America, he believes all the German propaganda,
that we're a boiling pot of racial tension about
to explode. The Uder I took home the other
night had a black driver, we had a good conversation
about road resurfacing. We didn't try to kill
each other even once.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
