Daric was the first coin minted under Darius I of Persia. Not only did the Persians create a coin for economic value but they also used coins for propaganda. Daric symbolizes an emporer with war like qualities, it portrays power and bravery. Today presidential candidates may not use coins for propaganda but they still portray power and bravery with their propaganda tools. Below Daric is a picture of presidential candidate John McCain, it shows McCain as a young soldier ready to go to war. Today we still use power and bravery as a characteristic of leadership.
