Phrygian Cap
April 2, 1793 the US Congress passed the US Coinage Act. It required all US coins to carry an image of Libert on their obverse. In 1946 that requirement was changed and most modern coins do not carry Liberty's image.

The most common way Liberty is shown on coins is dressed in a gown and wearing a Phrygian cap. Which represents liberty. Called "the Cap of Liberty" during the French Revolution. It had been first used in ancient Greece and later worn by freed slaves to represent their emancipation.
YOUng numismatists
The starting place
Low Country Coin Club encourages young people of all ages to take a look at the world of numismatism - that is COIN COLLECTING. We want to do all we can to encourage young men and women to become a part of our group.
A YOUNG NUMISTMATIST is officially considered anyone under 18 that collects coins or related collectibles.
Sometimes young people will follow a parent into the hobby if he or she is a collector. But even when a parent is not a collector, we want young people to find out about this hobby.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have merit badges for coin collecting and often the taste of collecting in quest of the merit badge can lead to a lifetime hobby.
But this is just one part of it.
This page is new for our Low Country Coin Club, but it is just a beginning. If you are interested in collecting, if you are interested in passing your collecting knowledge on to future generations of collectors, we urge you to visit our club meetings or come to our next coin show.
There is always a table (or two) for young collectors at our shows. Look for the YN section when you are there.
This page will be posting special information for young people. Check it out occassionally. You'll never know what you might miss.
Come by and see what coin collecting is all about.
