i could understand someone complaining if it was just recently added to coins/currency.

but since it has been on there since 1864 and it is the motto and princilples of what this country was founded on, it has it’s place being there.

if you might be offended, tough nuggies, deal with it.

there are alot of things in this world that i don’t agree with, but for the sake of history and tradition, i live with it.

What an empty life Mr. Newdow must have, to devote so much time to this.

I think it is perfectly ironic that “In God We Trust” appears on our money, of all things.

I would just rather both the “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum” mottos be optional. If the artwork of the design permits its inclusion unobtrusively then present them. Otherwise leave them off.

The Roosevelt dime would look considerably less cluttered if “E Pluribus Unum” were removed from the reverse. So often those mottos appear like afterthoughts rather than genuine elements of the design. The Standing Liberty Quarter incorporates “In God We Trust” beautifully. Even the small Lincoln Memorial cent incorporated every motto without feeling cluttered.
