<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2553589, member: 4781&quot;]The lawsuit claimed that the use of the national motto &quot;In God We Trust&quot; on the &quot;Freedom Tower Silver Dollar&quot; constituted a violation of the HPA. This was quite a stretch and I don&#039;t think that court&#039;s ruling would have stood up in that regard under challenge. I think it highly doubtful that the intent of Congress in enacting the various laws was to ban the use of &quot;In God We Trust&quot; on privately-minted pieces.</p><p>Personally, I don&#039;t think that motto is really necessary on coins. But imagine the furor that would arise if, hypothetically, the FTC were to tell a company that they had to remove &quot;In God We Trust&quot; from their tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS:</p><p>I did the original concept graphic illustration for the &quot;Freedom Tower Silver Dollar&quot;. I did not sculpt, engrave, mint, or market it. National Collectors Mint wanted &quot;In God We Trust&quot; on the Freedom Tower coins. I did not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
