Lady Liberty has a new look: as an African-American woman.

The U.S. Mint unveiled this week the designs for the 2017 American Liberty Gold Coin, the first in a series of 24-karat coins that will be issued biennially.

We boldly look to the future by casting Liberty in a new light, as an African-American woman wearing a crown of stars, looking forward to ever brighter chapters in our Nation’s history book,” Rhett Jeppson, the principal deputy director of the U.S. Mint, said in a news release revealing the new gold coinage. The $100 gold coin commemorates the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Mint.

Upcoming coins, Jeppson said, will depict Lady Liberty represented as an Asian-American, Hispanic-American and Indian-American woman, among others, to “reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of the United States.”

No such thing as a African-American

Your either American or you are not. White people aren't called European American.

It's been a while since you could own a black woman like this.

Can't wait for England to darken the portrait on the paper bills of the Queen to reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of the UK.

Make Cablanasian coins. Who cares?

They are called that - in effect - when being called Irish American, Italian American, Polish American, etc etc.

Being American and African American aren't mutually exclusive just because you say they are.
