The design on the left reminds me of a Weimar-era coin:   |

Hmm, the one on the right reminds me of the Falanage in Spain. Basically the right wing party of dictator Franco. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FalangeThey had five arrows and a yoke. This was the symbol of the Reyes Catolicos, the catholic kings who kicked the moors out of spain, then the jews, then all the muslims. They also funded Christopher Columbus' journeys to the new world. Oh, and Franco supported Hitler and Mussolini, though Hitler hated him for being small and having a squeeky voice, and after WW2 Franco pretended he had not sent the Blue Division off to the eastern front to help Hitler, he was just a normal guy, and the US supported him because he was anti-communist. |

Other than the words "One Nation"
How does this relate to Abe Lincolns preservation of the United States Of America?

Better than saying, "Two nations, north and south" Surely the US is one nation because of Lincoln!

 As I learned in APUSH, Lincoln did not fight the Civil War to free the slaves, but to preserve the Union. |

I like the one on the left in the link provided. How do they decide on a design? What process do they go through?

I think what they do is, they go around asking all the coin collecters what the think, they discard the ones they like, then they put the rest before a senate committee which works out their own interests and find the guy from their own state, and then they choose the design from the guy nearest to the state of the senator who is willing to sell his votes on other things, to have this designer.
Either that or they put all the designs in a hat and then pick one out at random.
