I agree with you. I actually *LIKE* having mottoes like those two on the
edges of coins, it makes them look much more 'dignified' and interesting. The
dates, OTOH, belong on coin faces and are my normal personal signpost for
defining a coin's obverse vs reverse (for my personal purposes, the side with
the date is the 'obverse').

At least there is room for the date and mint mark to the left and/or
right of the portraits. I don't see where they would put the mottos
without reducing the size of the image? Well, maybe they could put "In
God" on the left side of the torch and "We Trust" to the right?
Wouldn't look very pretty though.
