American Mint

My grandma got a survey type thing from these people. I figured it was a government type thing, but these people are good.

This is the one we got:

Here are my answers:
1. No (loved the bias of the yes though)
2. Oddly enough, I dont think this was on it. I would have answered other figures (Look at the US presidents coins...if I wanted Lincoln I would get a penny)
3. Yes (Imperialism at its best)
4. No (surprised how many answered no)
5. No (didn't we get our butts kicked during the olympics? And most of the good baseball players are foreigners or take steroids)
6. Statue of Liberty (obviously)
7. Yes (I love the bias of the negative....homeland?!)
8. This was a fill in, so I would have wrote "my rear end." I love how freedom is typically American. Yep, those damn Eye-talians ain't free!

There's some awesome ones there. I found out that Lincoln won the best president award and Washington came in second. I wonde how many people actually know anything about their presidency....seriously, Lincoln rage aside, I'm betting most people don't know much about Washington's.
Another question asking what 3 presidents should be honored on currency. The top 3 are already on coins...and 97.2% like paper money.
Strangeness hits when a lot of people like the gold standard. And more people thought Real Estate was a better investment than gold. Where is your house gods now?
