This is an easy one - post a coin with "Liberty" on it

1775
American revolutionary hero Patrick Henry, while addressing the House of Burgesses, declares "give me liberty, or give me death!"

"Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia.

Not my coin, but I’ve been considering getting some ancient Libertas coins recently. It would be cool to get one of the first coins made with Lady Liberty on it.

I like seeing Lady Liberty on US Coins, in all of her different depictions.

I also like Patrick Henry's words "give me liberty, or give me death!" as they convey the value of individual liberty (freedom).

I wonder what type of response Patrick Henry's words would receive today if they were spoken before today's US Congress and the 50 state Legislatures?
