The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (a group that includes architects, art experts and others who make their livings creating pretty things) first recommended that 13 stalks of bound wheat decorate the back of the 2010 penny. Then, however, someone discovered that shafts of wheat also appeared on German coins minted during the 1920s and 1930s, the era when the German government was known as the Weimar Republic.
With history repeating, they should have went with it.
