Bald Eagle symbol graces coins as National emblem

Just as money is recently being questioned in banks, the Bald Eagle, a strong symbol of America, can be seen on many United States coins, and like this eagle it still shows its strength as it flies from its perch through the trees. The Bald Eagle is an emblem of strength, resilience and freedom. Not only is it a symbol of America, but it represents the ideals that we strive for as individuals: Freedom from oppression and iyranny, the ability to live our lives on our own terms, and the ability to fly above it all.
