Nightwing Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 The motto "In God We Trust" looks OK on the obverse of the coin. However, I would have liked to see something replace it on the edge besides the ten 5-sided stars that the US Mint added. (The US Mint has also added 3 more starts in between the mint mark the motto "E pluribus unum.") I was thinking of something like the word "Liberty." Not quite as long as the former edge motto, but I think it would be better then the 10 stars. In fact, the word "liberty" surrounded by a few stars would look kind of nice * * * LIBERTY * * *. So what else could have replaced the "In God We Trust" motto on the edge of the new 2009 $1 coins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwing Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Maby a new motto, like "Let Freedom Ring!" That would fit. Defecit? What deficit? Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Honestly the edge lettering was my favorite thing about them. Other than that I find the series to be boring. I'm hoping they can really bring it to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I got an in-person look at the edge lettering, and it the stars are over the top. Just too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I got an in-person look at the edge lettering, and it the stars are over the top. Just too many. I agree. I think a new motto should be added and any space inbetween can have the stars. The edge lettering now is just a little unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortyr2012 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Maby a new motto, like "Let Freedom Ring!" ..or maybe "Yes we can!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 ..or maybe "Yes we can!!" If we want to get creative, the presidents individual political slogan could be put on the coin. I would love to see "I like Ike" on the side of the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there are too many people in America who would be against it When I read "I like Ike" I had to think about this Ok, enough off-topic now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I say we go back to our roots. Scrap "In God we Trust" and replace it with "Mind your Business." just like Franklin wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
