Okay, it's a coin. It's a commemorative coin from Romania.

US $20 bill
So, what on Earth could be hypocritical about the US $20 bill and some coin from Romania?
Well....
US knocks Romania for ‘anti-Semitic’ coin
The US government decided to criticize the Romanian government for putting a former governor of the Romanian bank on a coin, and he happened to be a bit of an anti-Semite. But he's not the only person on that side of the coin, there are three of them.
But at the same time as this, the US govt is pumping out $20 bills (and produced 1.5 billion of them in 2012) which have a Mr Andrew Jackson on the front. Not with two other people, but all on his ownsome.
And he's not exactly Mr Human Rights 1830, now is he?
I mean, the Trail of Tears was his... and there was a lot more.
