"In God We Tryst" should be the one for Bill Clinton, he might be pushing
daisies by the time that coin should come in ordinal.
A president must be deceased a minimum of two years before being
honored on a presidential dollar coin. This would mean that Clinton
would have to die on or before 2014, when he would be 68, which seems
unlikely. So I guess you'll just have to be satisfied with the fake
Arkansas "blow job" Quarter ...
More on topic, the tiny edge lettering was misguided to begin with and
the coin needed to be thicker for this to work (like the British Pound
Coins). Plus, I'm more offended that "E Pluribus Unum" remains on the
edge and is subjugated to "In God We Trust" - move one, move them
both.
Congratulations to the Mint for screwing up the continuity of this
misbegotten series of coins.
Every Presidential Dollar Coin release celibration done by the
U.S. Mint, has always been a uplifting of what each President
did. It is going to be hard for the U.S. Mint to do a coin
celibration for President William Henry Harrison. See the
link below about him.

Those 'screwups' were at the behest of Congress - they dictated to the USMint
how to do it.

In a nutshell, some people shouldn't be involved in coin design. SQ
coin design committees and Congress are prime examples.

"In name of god we kill" should be on the George W. Bush dollar.

My primary beef is that the year and mint mark _remain_ on the edge,
where it is subject to the various problems we have seen these past
two
years. I would take a 'godless' dollar over one that I cannot
determine
which mint it was produced.
