<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 5330741, member: 66&quot;]Because there are a BUNCH of religious fanatics in this country that get their briefs/panties all up in a wad at the idea of leaving it off.&nbsp; Back in 2007 when the President dollars came out and they moved the motto to the edge there was a BIG uproar and calls for boycotting the coin because &quot;they left IGWT off the coin!&quot;&nbsp; That was why in 2009 they had to move it back to the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>Besides since Teddy Roosevelt left it off the double eagle back in 1907 and 08, when it also caused a big uproar, Congress passed legislation REQUIRING the motto to appear on all US coins.&nbsp; Which it has with one exception.&nbsp; Although the law requires the motto to be on all coins, it does NOT appear on the Buffalo nickel, even though it was designed after the law was passed.&nbsp; Technically the buffalo nickel is an illegal design, and why they added the motto to the Buffalo commemorative dollar and the gold buffalo bullion coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
