The dollar coin: Worthless without a visible motto

I have read with interest the letters regarding the paper dollar vs. the dollar coin. The lack of interest in the coin may be due to the fact that the motto "In God We Trust" was relegated to the edge of the presidential coins that were first minted.

I, for one, will never use a one-dollar coin, or any coin for that matter, as long that motto is in an obscure spot on the coin. The motto is something we should be proud of.
