HERE IS A TRIVIA QUESTION FOR YOU BOYS.

WHO IS THE ONLY NIGERIAN O.K. LETS BE POLITICALLY CORRECT AFRICAN AMERICAN ON ANY U.S. COIN ?

O.K. WILHEIM LETS SEE HOW SMART YOU REALLY ARE:think2:

Crispus Attucks was killed by the British in the Boston Massacre of 1770.

BEANTOWNJIM · Feb 24, 2009

nice try wilheim but wrong answer.

first african american to be on any u.s. Coin.

wilheim · Feb 24, 2009

jazz legend Duke Ellington.

But Attucks was on a minted special edition silver dollar in 1998. However that was not a real circulating coin like the Ellington quarter will be.

wil.

wilheim · Feb 24, 2009

The Crispus Attucks Silver Dollar.

The back had a small family of Afro Americans on it.

So I guess when you say only on the coin the Ellington answer is correct.

There might be an earlier Negro on a US coin, but this one is clearly earlier, than what BTJ presents. (1946)

With the word ANY, I'm clearly correct !

The quarters are actually commemerative coins as well, just made in sufficient quantities to circulate freely, unlike earlier coins featuring Negros, that I posted earlier.

Doug · Feb 24, 2009

Link to early commem half dollars... I believe BTW was the first black man on a US coin in 1946, but I'm not 100% sure of it !

Wrong again, Jim !

Coins are on the way out.... the cent is on the way out.

Really, we have only three coins in the US:

nickel
dime
quarter

halves don't circulate
dollar coins are a joke
pennies are going away

not much room to replace Jefferson,FDR,and Washington !, on coins.
