"In God We Trust," the official national motto since 1956 and a familiar sight on U.S. coins and currency, will be hard to find on the new presidential dollar coins scheduled for release to the public Feb. 15, 2007.
The new gold-colored dollar pieces, featuring images of U.S. presidents, will move the inscription from the face of the coin to the thin edge, along with the year and the previous national motto, "E Pluribus Unum," Latin for "Out of Many, One."

I wish they took it off altogether. Last time I checked "we" includes me and I don't trust in any god. Bring back our old motto and put that on the front.
A search with your title would have found the other two threads - - right at the top.
"I don't trust in any god"
I believe you can say that here. Better duck! ;)
"In God We Trust", all others pay cash!
You could always sue for being so offended.
I was trying to be too cute too fast. Meant to say:
I don't believe you can say that here.
Well, obviously you are the only one whose wishes should matter when it comes to this issue. The rest of us who do believe in and trust in God are meaningless. /sarc off
What happened to Praise God from whom all blessings flow?
Well, actually leadpenny, he can say that here (or anywhere else). But, he should be prepared for the responses he gets from such narcisstic rants.
"The rest of us who do believe in and trust in God are meaningless. "
Modern America: They tyranny of the minority.
I wish they would put it back on the front. "we" includes ME, and I DO trust God.
Keep the 1956 motto where it should be.
New dollar coins place
'In God We Trust' along thin edge
instead of front or back.
I kind of like it.
Maybe it's indented instead of raised letters?
I know. There just haven't been enough fights around here lately, and I'm just trying to keep the pot boiling.
Please tell me where in the Constitution is it written that "The People" have a protection against being offended. And, if that protection exists, then why can not I also make the same claim against people like Raymann who offend me by his narcissistic rantings.
(leadpenny, he should have ducked!)
I stay in the foxhole position.
Yes, it's called "edge incused inscription" - it's common on coins around the world.
Hmm, looks like a nice poker chip - which is what they'll become undoubtedly.
