I doubt many countries would like to use coinage depicting the defeat of their country in battle unless they look on the battle as a victory for their country in the form of the over throw of a despot. Anyone in the U.S. for an evacuation from Vietnam coin? Brits, how about a Charge of the Light Brigade coin?
I, for one, wouldn't mind the "Evacuation from Saigon" commemorative coin. Apparently we Americans need all the reminders we can get when it comes to disastrous, wasteful foreign policy blunders.
We do, but I doubt you're ever going to see that coin. . .
