Who else thinks they can exercise this much hegemony?
Tribe wants control over what face is on national coinage
"Romania's central bank on Thursday said it would not withdraw from circulation a coin featuring an image of a prime minister who stripped Jews of their citizenship before World War II, stressing it had not intended to send an anti-Semitic message.
The coin depicts the late Patriarch Miron Cristea, who led the Romanian Orthodox Church from 1925 to 1939 and was prime minister from 1938 to 1939. A commission set up by the National Bank to reconsider it said it was minted only as one of five to commemorate Romania's five patriarchs at the request of Romania's influential Orthodox Church.
The bank said in a statement that "the set of coins were decisively and intrinsically linked ....to an institution which had an essential role in defining and developing the national and cultural identity of Romania."
