Emperor Oli Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Browsing USA coins on eBay I came across this monstrosity. Which mint makes this trash? From a numismatical point of view, the colourisation looks rubbish and the engraving is lacking, but from a normal point of view the motto "Let's Roll" just seems to make the event seem like some kind of movie and cheapens the whole thing immensely.

Chris Perkins Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 That is horrible isn't it. And also the 'Lets Roll' could really be taken in a right wing way.To me it sometimes looks like life in America is just one big long movie anyway!9/11 was the biggest single loss of US lives outside of a warzone, but all this commemorative crap that's coming after it is in danger of doing the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do, and actually trivialise the whole event. (although everyone knows it only supposed to make money)To be honest I've had it up to my ears hearing about those 'brave' victims and all the American patriotic crap that I'm sick of the bloody thing now and I'd almost forgotten that there actually were poor innocent victims that had lost their lives!It makes it look like 9/11 was all just a big money making exercise!!
