<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 735959, member: 66&quot;]The date was moved because it was decided to move the mottos and date to the edge to allow for larger images on the President dollar.&nbsp; Then when the rev of the Sac dollar was changed it was thought to move the mottos on that coin as well for the same reason. so the legislation simply specified that is have the same edge as the President dollar.&nbsp; This made sense because that way there would only be one type of edge&nbsp; die needed, lest you get mix ups of President edges on Native American dollars and vice versa.&nbsp; Then before production of the 2009 coins the motto IGWT was moved from the edge back to the face of the coin.&nbsp; Since the designs change every year, the year of striking can easily be determined without having to see the date on the edge.&nbsp; The real problem is they put the mintmark on the edge as well and that you have to be able to see.&nbsp; (The mintmark could be moved back to the face without need of legislation because it is NOT mentioned in the previous legislation that placed the inscriptions on the edge.&nbsp; The date IS required to be on the edge though so it would require legislation to move it.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
