Call me sentimental, but the addition of a 150 year old piece of currency from the country you just won your independence from, along with newly minted currency of your less than 20 year old democracy, sounds exactly like the items that should be remembered. The very fact that these items are mundane and quaint to us would possibly give the people who placed these items great satisfaction knowing their newly formed country lasted even a hundred years. Indeed, if these would have been coins newly minted from the federal mint, then the act[0] that allowed for their creation had only been passed 3 years prior.
