"As you are
well aware, on Aug. 6, 1945, Hiroshima became the first city in the world
to suffer an atomic attack. At a single stroke, over 140,000
precious souls were taken and our city utterly destroyed. Today,
well over 300,000 survivors continue to struggle with constant anxiety
over their health. Thus, knowing all too well that 'Hiroshima' must
never happen again, we have been appealing ever since for total nuclear
abolition and world peace.
"A coin
minted in commemoration of the INF treaty is the most fitting symbol of
world peace... Our city, in its tireless quest for eternal world peace,
can only treasure such a coin."

Araki, Mayor
City of
Hiroshima, Japan
