WASHINGTON – "In God We Trust," the official national motto since 1956 and a familiar sight on U.S. coins and currency, will be hard to find on the new presidential dollar coins scheduled for release to the public Feb. 15, 2007.

The new gold-colored dollar pieces, featuring images of U.S. presidents, will move the inscription from the face of the coin to the thin edge, along with the year and the previous national motto, "E Pluribus Unum," Latin for "Out of Many, One."

The official reason for the design change? To allow space for larger portraits of the presidents on the face and the Statue of Liberty on the reverse, according to the Mint.

The new coins will be the same size as the 1979 Susan B. Anthony and the 2000-2002 Sacajawea.

For the first time the coin will also say "$1" instead of "One Dollar."

1. Our first coin ever to have a number on it. And it will be completely rejected

by the public, just like every other dollar coin.

2. I like the dollar coins... I use them all the time

mostly for public transit and vending machines.

Any currency that has the likeness of a woman on it works for me :)

3. Its about time....

4. What do they know, the dollar was founded as a Christian dollar

by our forefathers (little women stayed home in the kitchen where they belonged). And that's why God has always hated taxes and votes Republican.

5. Nothing wrong with God. Just the people who won't let you choose

about God. God seems to have given us free will; to use it to force others in regard to God seems a tad off.

When did good deeds stop being the standard to spread the meaning? Force gains few friends, no matter how true the message.

6. Will the Reagan dollar keep getting lost?
