Wouldn't it be cool idea to put Martin Luther King, Jr on the penny ?

Well it might look a little prejudicial cause a penny is pretty worthless plus it's brown.  How about a quarter, then you can call someone who cares.\n\nAnd thanks for the two points.

The value should be printed on the face of the coin.

Probably.  He could endorse it with the right spelling and the wrong spelling.  His bank will probably allow him to cash it.

I think Bill Gate's WIFE should get the prize.  He was a cheap, money hoarding nerd until he married her.  Never gave a penny to anyone else.  Marriage and kids have made him see there are others in the world besides himself.

No, it is a myth.  But, it's a cool idea.  I'm sure someone will pick it up, write a book about it and make lots of money making people believe it.

I am white, male, and yes, I accept Black History month as a time to reflect on our freedoms we ALL have thanks to brave men and women AND children. Because let us remember Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy all were assasinated in the same decade of the 60's-different races-but all three supported Civil Rights!!! So BHM is for all of us to remember...freedom to speak your mind is a GOD GIVEN RIGHT-and HE is "colorblind"--thank you and peace,love and honor to you...

Two come to mind quickly.\n\nClara Barton- she did heroic work with her life, the heart of a lion that woman and she established the Red Cross.\n\nMartin Luther King Jr.- always admired him. I think he stands for every American's American Dream....one of a better life.\n\nThe idea is new so I  would go with a quarter on both.

Although I'm not a black man and thus I suppose my opinion can't count here. I don't believe that the people of today are responsible for the sins of their fathers.\n\nIf anything, perhaps the KKK should be made to pay restitutions.

yes, only if joe 6 pack wakes up and realizes the bank note is a paper that has no intrinsic value. The phase III of gold bull run is about to start.

Depends wot it is. If not tooooooooo valuable would take it to charity shop.

Didn't Martin Luther King give up his life to prevent things like this happening? I don't think he wanted his death to be ignored in this way, he fought for integration not segregation.

I think that Martin Luther King Jr. would not approve of President George W. Bush but he would respect President Bush as a leader of the United States of America.

One of them does not; Abe Lincoln. The right side of his face is shown on the penny. The left side of Washington, Jefferson and Roosevelt's faces are shown on the others.\n\nBut why? Why?!?

In popular history, no one around has ever heard of the "Poor Peoples' March on Washington" which MLK, Jr. started.  It is just quietly swept under the rug, so to speak.  MLK, Jr. wasn't just fighting for the rights of black Americans, he was fighting for the rights of all poor Americans!
