I’m just going to post a link to this blogger post about the joy still to be found in this country, despite all of the ruin that appears to be happening all around us in this country.
Please take a few minutes and read to the end - I believe you will find that it was worth your time …

A taste from that post:
The thing is, all of this has been a balm to the American soul. We’ve had a long, hard decade of division, tyranny, and anger. We needed to see joy for a change. We needed to be reminded of who we can be when there is nobody actively working to rob us of that. To see and participate in community. Kindness. Service. Diversity. Welcome. Healing. We’ve been starved of that in the public sphere for so very long, and it took all of these outsiders, all of these visitors, to make us see what we’ve lost so we could find it again.
“The World Cup didn’t need us,” said one American on social media. “We needed the World Cup.”

Tl;dr:
I didn’t read the whole thing, but it doesn’t seem to be about coinage. It is about sportsball.
