Changes

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 visible the inscription when I look at the coins in ordinary room light. 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.'' [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 21:23, 2 March 2007 (EST)
