If you look at your pocket change you'll see that ALL American coins carry either the word LIBERTY or an image of Miss Liberty. The intent is to demonstrate that liberty is a fundamental principle of American democracy.

What are the three girl's names on a penny?

I hope you are talking about U.S. pennies, and I think you would then be talking about the pennies that came before the Lincoln penny (pre-1909, I think). On all of the American coins before the 1909 Lincoln penny, the female figures were all some form of the Liberty character. There was a seated Liberty, the Indian head wearing a headdress, the Liberty wearing a hat, the buffalo/Indian head, and the large Liberty head form. I think I am correct telling you that all female figures appearing on the U.S. penny before 1909 were Lady Liberty. Cathy


Why does American quarter say liberty?

Until 1909 when the penny was changed to feature Lincoln, all US coins featured a personification of liberty (or a non-person design such as on the shield nickel and 2 cent piece). Because of this, the tradition stuck with putting Liberty on coins even though they don't feature a personification of liberty like the earlier coins.


Why is the staue of Liberty green not brown like a penny?

the Statue of Liberty is green because it has been there for a long time. Since metal rusts, the Statue of Liberty also rusted. In fact, it rusted enough for it to turn green. If a penny rusts enough, it will also turn green.
