+Racer and Boo Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Long Island is not the only place that did not get representation. There is nothing in the collage that says Central New York. But you don't hear people complaining about that do you? Not all regions could be represented on the coin. So, there is Albany, the State Capital. The Statue of Liberty, an icon of not only NYS but also the country, ( and how far is that from Long Island?) Then there are the Adirondacks and Niagara Falls, hmmm... two of the biggest reasons people travel from other countries to New York. Hmmmm..... why would anyone want to put these things on a coin to represent a state? That's a tough question to answer, isn't it. How about instead of complaining about something this small we spend time dealing with bigger issues. Rising gas prices, the homeless population, pollution, things of this nature which will make a difference. Link to comment

Because this is the thread about the NYS coin... we'll work on world hunger and the homeless when those threads pop up. Link to comment

Instead of complaining about the Salvation Army contest, why didn't you just worry about Rising gas prices, the homeless population, pollution, things of this nature which will make a difference.
