Size?
On examining a few Sacagawea dollars, I'd have to say the words "In God We Trust" are pretty darn hard to read; they're in very small type tucked behind the back of her neck, much as it is behind Washington's neck in the new quarters (the ones with the state themes). (It's distinctly easier to read on the Susan B. Anthony dollars, where the inscription is under her chin).
The Sacagawea dollars are pretty thick, with a relatively large amount of room on the edge.
It's at least possible that the words placed on the edge of the new coin are as large, maybe even larger than on the older dollar coins.
On the other hand, the edge is a very high-wear area. Dpbsmith 19:17, 2 March 2007 (EST)
- I don't think the lettering is all that small on the Sacagawea dollars:

- But thanks for the comparison, which I'll add to the content page.--Aschlafly 19:44, 2 March 2007 (EST)

As I view them on my screen right now, they look to me as if they give a reasonably accurate impression of how visible the inscription when I look at the coins in ordinary room light.
