<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 272269, member: 6449&quot;]The legislation mandating removal of the edge inscription was flawed in many ways <a href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=2710" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=2710" rel="nofollow">according to Ed Moy</a>, the director of the mint.&nbsp; I think the main motivation for the legislation was pandering to the religious right about the possibility of leaving &quot;In God We Trust&quot; off the coins.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the legislation didn&#039;t specifically say the mint mark, date and &quot;E pluribus unum&quot; had to be moved, so the mint isn&#039;t going to implement anything until it is clarified. </p><p><br /></p><p>My bet is that the edge inscriptions will be abandoned, for a host of reasons.&nbsp; The best reason is that they are technologically flawed.&nbsp; However, the pander always wins in these situations and makes for great re-election campaign commercials.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
