If you refuse to take the dollar coin because “In God We Trust” is printed on the edge instead of the surface, then would you also refuse to take older U.S. paper money that was printed before “In God We Trust” was added? (I realize these older notes are collected and not circulated now - but if they were still in use would you refuse one?)

And does it also concern you that “E Pluribus Unum” is on the edge? Or do you feel “E Pluribus Unum” should be removed since it means “Out of many, one” and was the United States’ motto until it was replaced by “In God We Trust” in the 1950’s?
I can’t point out cracks because I can’t even figure out the reason they have a problem with the motto being on the edge. None of them will answer me.
Someone in another question did answer why they object to it being on the edge - so I am finally clear on that now.
