Time to redesign our coinage

Hello everyone. I wanted to see if I could get your support for a change to our coinage. As President Roosevelt did in 1907, I think it is time to redesign our circulating coinage. The $10 bill is going to feature a woman in 2020, but it will share circulation with the Hamilton $10 bill.

In an effort to show progressiveness in both diversity and women's equality in America, I propose that the coins from the cent to the half dollar be redesigned back to the classic symbol of Lady Liberty, but with Liberty representative of the major ethnicities; Asian, Caucasian, African American, etc. (The dollar coin features Sacagawea, so that one can continue)

I created a petition and if it receives 100,000 signatures by May 15, it has to be addressed by the White House. I ask that you consider signing the petition by using the link below and sharing the link on your social media pages so that we can get the 100,000 signatures needed. Thank you.
