Title: Interesting tidbit from the ANA Post by: dsking on November 13, 2007, 06:34:10 AM "The reason the eagle is so small on the Benjamin Franklin commemorative half-dollar is because Franklin opposed the use of the eagle as our country's national symbol. Franklin's bird of choice? The noble (and great tasting) turkey!"

I knew that Franklin favored the turkey, but didn't know that was why the eagle was so small on the coin. :) :) :) :) |
