Trump is turning coins into miniature symbols of his priorities

A limited-time dime design that the U.S. Mint is releasing this year is drawing attention over a very symbolic omission. The Emerging Liberty dime, created for the U.S. Semiquincentennial, shows a woman who personifies Liberty on the heads side; on the tails side, there’s a bald eagle holding arrows in its talons for war, but it’s missing olive branches in its other talons for peace.

The coin design was announced late last year, but those missing olive branches seem especially glaring as the Iran war enters its third week.
