Apropos of nothing (I'm ''not'' trying to prove any particular point) here are some crude images of the Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony dollars, placed directly on my scanner's platen.. I don't think we'll know how they compare to the new dollar coins until we actually have them in our hands... it does look to me as if the lettering is larger on the Susan B. Anthony dollar.

As I view them on my screen right now, they look to me as if they give a reasonably accurate impression of how legible the inscription is in real life. The one at http://edge.i-hacked.com/wp-content/sacagaweacoin.jpg looks much clearer than the real thing... and I've no doubt so does the Mint's picture of the edge of the new coins.

Googling on the Web and on Groups there is ''lots'' of discontent about "In God We Trust" being on the edge. What's not clear to me is whether people have actually seen the new coins or whether they just hate the very ''idea.'' (The inscription is ''literally'' being marginalized!)

*RichP's images are exactly what was needed. Incidentally, I'd almost go so far as to call the Mint's picture[http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=EdgeIncused] misleading... [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:39, 3 March 2007 (EST)
*P. S. Am I just curmudgeonly or is that a rather unflattering picture of Washington? His expression actually looks like a match for that of the equally dour Susan B. Anthony.... [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:41, 3 March 2007 (EST)
==Redirect this article?==
(Fixing my comment which I messed up...) I suggest we redirect this article to the relevant subsection on the more generic [[United states dollar coin]], where I have already added this information. [[User:Rich P|Dr. Richard Paley]] 09:38, 9 March 2007 (EST)
