New dollar coins place
'In God We Trust' along thin edge
instead of front or back.

I kind of like it.

Hmm, looks like a nice poker chip - which is what they'll become undoubtedly.

We're all helpless to do anything about this.

I agree -- I like it too. Actually, instead of "hiding" the statement, it puts more emphasis on it than if treated in the usual manner.

I like the coin very much.

Just hope it's not like the Famous Women coins that were nearly the same size as a quarter.

[Constitution Day]

So do I.

I kind of like it

Me too. I'm sick to death of people who look for reasons to be offended. The coin still bears the motto and removing it from the faces of the coin will help to better distinguish it from a quarter.

Here is a screen capture from a Flash video the U.S. Mint has to show the coin and provide info about the changes.

The Mint's site is here.

I agree. I don't know if the coins will take off, but they're far better than most of the new coins I've seen.
