2008 P · E PLURIBUS UNUM · IN GOD WE TRUST ·

2009 - ____

Beginning with the 2009 William Henry Harrison Presidential
Dollar, "In God We Trust" appears on the obverse of it
and all succeeding Presidential $1 Coins. As a result, the
edge lettering of the 2009 Presidential $1 Coins are
slightly different from that of the 2007 and 2008 Dollars.
Where in 2007/2008 there were single dots (delimiters)
between the inscriptions, beginning in 2009 there
are three stars between "E Pluribus Unum" and the
mint mark and 10 stars between the year of minting and
"E Pluribus Unum".
