NYT Connections Purple Group

Okay, per usual, this one’s the toughie. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of you are here just to figure this one out. Hopefully, the above visual hint helps somewhat.
Annndddd it didn’t. Because you’re still here and you’re still stuck. No worries. I have a feeling it’s because everyone pays for things electronically now. And that’s your verbal clue: When’s the last time you checked out your change?
If you dug between the cushions of your couch and inspected what you found, perhaps you’ve come up with the answer for this group. If not, scroll down for your final eureka moment…
Today’s purple group answer is Seen on Backs of U.S. Coins, and its words are EAGLE (quarter), MONTICELLO (nickel), SHIELD (penny), and TORCH (dime)
See you back here for tomorrow’s hints, my non-coin-carrying friend.
