So, the US Mint has redesigned the reverse of the one-cent coin for 2010.

"The 13 vertical stripes of the shield represent the states joined in one compact union to support the federal government, represented by the horizontal bar above.  [...]"

NO.  WRONG.  It is not the purpose of the States to support either the Union, or the Federal government.  It is the purpose of the Federal government to support the union of the States.

"The 13 vertical stripes of the shield represent the states joined in one compact union to support under the oppressive boot of the federal government, represented by the horizontal bar above. [...]"

Making the bar above look like a crown. There are points not to like about this design...

Considering that I'm Southern... well duh. Federal Government is for the support of the States. The States are for the support of the citizenry.
