Black Lady Liberty on new coin

Too bad no one actually circulates $100 coins, but I'd be glad to see this spread to other depictions...

Wow, that's neat. And future coins as other ethnicities is cool too.

The image is beautiful. FIL collects coins so maybe I'll be able to see one. I assume only coin collectors have $100 coins.

Yeah, on the one hand I'm like "Yay, representation!" but on the other hand, I'm being all cynical that this may encourage minorities to lock $100 into something that won't appreciate rather than investing/saving with interest. Of course, maybe Trump will crash the economy and gold will skyrocket, so who knows? ;-)
