<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 192748, member: 39"]Edge lettering sure is neat; we have had it on German and many other European coins for a long time. On collector coins from DE the edge inscriptions even vary - there usually is a motto related to the person or event that is honored. As for the Presidential Dollars, I do not really see any conspiracy here. For a while the edge lettering may, as Rono wrote, even get more attention. And then people will just know it's there, just like you know it is on the other denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I would have done differently is the year and the mintmark. Those could have been on either the obverse or the reverse, without taking any space "away" from the portraits. Then again, I suppose it is mostly collectors who look for such details. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
