Out of Many, One
The Latin motto "E pluribus unum" was suggested by the first Great Seal committee in 1776. It means "Out of many, one." For the final design in 1782, Charles Thomson placed this motto on a scroll carried in the beak of an American eagle.
"E pluribus unum" is a clear reference to the thirteen states united into one nation – as symbolized by the shield on the eagle's breast. Thomson said "the Motto alludes to this union."
E pluribus unum is also symbolized by the constellation of thirteen stars and the bundle of thirteen arrows.
The name is LEE!

Why?
all the US Currancy. Everything else in the US is getting spanish written on it. Sorry this was a rant......
NO NO NO. Keep it the way it is. And don't dare take off the word "GOD" either. Why can't people just leave things the
way they are. If you don't like it, then sorry about your problem. There's 10,000,000 more problems to deal with in the world
then taking some words off a coin....

With the relief of modern coinage going..........going...........gone, it won't be long before we have blank slugs with reeding circulating. Then no one will have any problems with what is on U.S. coins and how to get rid of it.
<< <i>Whats Latin for "worthless fiat money"?
How about "Fiat Pecunia Nequam"?
Fiat is already a Latin verb, so I don't think we can use it as an adjective. It means 'let there be made', so this could have the appropriate double meaning of "Let worthless money be made"!
If anyone who actually knows Latin wants to correct me, please by all means!

Well by that logic it should never have been put on in the first place, so I guess by your own argument it should removed.
