U.S. Coins by Egantx7

Question 6

Most US coins feature real American figures, or depictions of Liberty personified as a woman. Some people think that the dimes minted between 1916 and 1945 are exceptions because Liberty is wearing a particular cap. Which mythological figure lends their name to these dimes, since many people think that the capped Liberty on the obverse is actually an ancient god?

Mercury (Winged Liberty Head dime)
