If and when this ever comes up before the supreme court, I expect them to involve their originalism argument and put things back the way they were. I mean, right? Right..?
And since Latin is a dead language, how about translating it? For example: "Different and united." Or any other few words that reflect the idea that people from all over the world can form a united nation in spite of their differences.
I like this, given that we don't have an official language in the USA. Latin is a root language for several others that are represented here. Though it isn't universally related to all languages, that's as close as we can get I think, and in any case, seems better than choosing English.
That’s the EU’s motto almost “In varietate concordia” - “united in diversity”
Technically, as all of the official working languages carry equal weight, it’s:
Bulgarian: Единство в многообразието,
Croatian: Ujedinjeni u različitosti,
Czech: Jednotná v rozmanitosti,
Danish: Forenet i mangfoldighed,
Dutch: In verscheidenheid verenigd,
English: United in diversity,
Estonian: Ühinenud mitmekesisuses,
Finnish: Moninaisuudessaan yhtenäinen,
French: Unie dans la diversité,
German: In Vielfalt geeint,
Greek: Ενωμένοι στην πολυμορφία,
Hungarian: Egység a sokféleségben,
Irish: Aontaithe san éagsúlacht,
Italian: Unita nella diversità,
Latvian: Vienota dažādībā,
Lithuanian: Suvienijusi įvairovę,
Maltese: Magħquda fid-diversità,
Polish: Zjednoczona w różnorodności,
Portuguese: Unida na diversidade,
Romanian: Uniţi în diversitate,
Slovak: Zjednotení v rozmanitosti,
Slovene: Združena v raznolikosti,
Spanish: Unida en la diversidad,
Swedish: Förenade i mångfalden.
The god shit was only added during the 50s to ward of the communist boogeyman paranoia of the time, same with the ridiculous pledge of allegiance for children
And Theodore Roosevelt was against “in god we trust” being on coinage. Not because he was secular, but because he thought it was blasphemous to have god’s name on currency that people used to buy alcohol.
The original, albeit unofficial moto, was a better embodiment of what we are supposed to strive for. Now more than ever.
"E pluribus unum." Out of many, one. In this time of heavy divisiveness a reminder that we are supposed to be brought together by the idea of American and its values is sorely needed.
While we're at it, we should probably do something about the fact that most of the faces on our bills and coins are of men who owned slaves, and/or participated in the genocide of native Americans.
"In God We Trust" was added in the 1950s out of fear of the "Godless Communists" during the McCarthyist "Red scare." As many others have said, our original motto was fine, and would be a fine return.
Why does it have to have any motto or slogan? It's money, not a billboard or bumper sticker. As long as it states its denomination it has done all it needs to do. I'm frankly surprised it doesn't say "Ten dollars, brought to you by XYZ Corp." or some other nonsense.
And God we trust was added and 1955, obviously it’s not needed. Just take the stupid shit off the money. It was a political power play and a continuation of the BS confederacy.
Per aspera, ad astra. "Through hardships to the stars." It recalls our aspirations in the Apollo program, acknowledges that our nation still has a lot of work to do to make up for its past, and it obliquely evokes the "constellation" of 50 stars on the flag.
There are literally so many! And they would all be way fucking better than dumb “in god we trust”
E Pluribus Unum
Of the people, by the people, for the people
We hold these truths to be self-evident
We The People
A more perfect union
One nation, indivisible
Liberty and justice for all
These are better than in god we trust, but the “we the people” shit has been co-opted by the Jan 6 type. It’s corny af and they are getting like fucking tattoos and shit with that saying.
fuck those "i want a revolution, but don't take my social security or 401k" christofascist LARPers
Once they go away (hopefully when Trump dies or gets officially diagnosed with dementia, or sooner), it would be a sick slogan
"Don't spend it all in one place"
Not sure why you need anything at all.
Here in Canada we had a hockey poem on the Five for a few years.
I didn't mind it even though I don't practice hockey.
We don't really have to replace it with anything if we don't want to. Actually, you can be sure somebody will get offended by what we choose (or not) regardless of what it is. My personal preference would be "Ex Astris, Scientia" (From the Stars, Science).
literally the original usa motto "e pluribus unum" aka "from many, one."
Yes. This.
Sounds too communist for the right probably
It was changed in 1954 because of McCarthysm. So you're not far off.
Or maybe too inclusive.
Isn’t that just nationalism though? Communism isn’t really about “unity” in the way Fascism might be.
Even a blank space would be an improvement
This is the way
I have spoken
Haha nice

I think that's part of the point of using latin in modern times, it doesn't belong to anyone anymore. It's a neutral language
I like this, given that we don't have an official language in the USA. Latin is a root language for several others that are represented here. Though it isn't universally related to all languages, that's as close as we can get I think, and in any case, seems better than choosing English.
Or some rat bastard like 'esperanto'!
Why not have it in many languages? Sort of like the state quarters…
'Strong in our diversity'--I love it because it would piss off the MAGAts.

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
All for $1 and $1 for all
Oh this is gold
No, the gold standard ended years ago- now it’s just paper
"oh this is paper" .. just doesn't have the same feel to it
We could use Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign slogan: Better Together.
It was also Theresa May's Brexit slogan.
Better than Pokémon go to the polls.
I mean there's a perfectly good three word translation "From many, one."
Together, One.
e pluribus unum
The god shit was only added during the 50s to ward of the communist boogeyman paranoia of the time, same with the ridiculous pledge of allegiance for children
1864, actually. Was first used on one- and two-cent pieces. 1950’s is when it got added to the pledge, iirc
And Theodore Roosevelt was against “in god we trust” being on coinage. Not because he was secular, but because he thought it was blasphemous to have god’s name on currency that people used to buy alcohol.
I use mine to buy Jesus x Satan porn
I thought it was on most coins, but only added to bills in the 50s.
“America, F**K YEAH!!”
I was thinking the same thing! 🤣
'MURICA
lets go back to "mind your business"
"Fuck you, got mine" sounds pretty appropriate.
E pluribus unum. And remove under god from the pledge—it’s literally dividing “one nation indivisible.”
I always amend it to say "under NO god" No one notices..
Take my upvote, please. “Under God” | “One nation, indivisible”
In Zod we trust? 😉
I, for one, welcome our new Kryptonian Overlords.
"Pay-up Sucker"
"The Economy Over All" would be a pretty fitting US slogan, though I like yours, it's pithier.
"God-money, I'll do anything for you."
Good for all debts public and private?
"God bless you" could be replaced with... Science enlighten you! Renaissance unto your mind! Next time, aim for my mouth! Gross!
I just say "gesundheit"
For a while my cousin would say "curse you!" Not that I think we should all necessarily do this but it was very funny.
We could go back to _E Pluribus Unum_, but that's probably too divisive... 🙄
United We Stand.
In science we trust
"[Mind Your Business](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugio_cent)"
This is way better than “e pluribus unum”. I vote we use that along with a wild turkey on one side and a herd of house cats on the other.
Back in the day when they had "mind your business" on the currency, it meant "don't fuck around; pay attention to your commercial activities."
The first official circulation coin of the United States had ‘mind your business’ as a slogan. I’d be up for bringing that back.
Maybe just don't have a slogan?
Exactly, do we really need one?
“It’s not the dollar we want, but it is the dollar we need.”
Your god ruined this country
"Money is fake! We just made it up! Just like that god you trusted!"
Currency doesn’t need a slogan. Its currency. But if there has to be one, I’d choose “This is currency.”
“In Gold we trust”. Then the religious idiots can just squint a bit and believe it never changed.
“Be excellent to each other”
America's true national motto is, and always has been, *Caveat Emptor*
E pluribus unum
Use Your Brain
Fuck all yall. That seems to be what most of them live by.
In liberty we trust?
Value may reduce over time
Value *will* reduce over time. And with a quickness.
E pluribus Unum
"E pluribus unum"
E Pluribus Unum
E Pluribus Unum. It worked before. Founding fathers liked it. Good secular motto.
Trust yourself
There should be none. It is just money.
Live long and prosper
United we stand is a classic
Don’t spend it all in one place.
I am the True American God
"Backed By The People of The United States"
"Fuck 'em, I got mine!"
Please don't Google "school of the Americas"
Hold my beer!

What did you have in mind for replacement figures?
Natural wonders of the U.S. would be nice. Or animals. Everyone will always argue about people, but we all love a good eagle or canyon.
"In God We Trust" was added in the 1950s out of fear of the "Godless Communists" during the McCarthyist "Red scare." As many others have said, our original motto was fine, and would be a fine return.
Your god is dead and no one cares. -Trent Reznor.
If you don’t smoke Tarrlytons, Fuck You!
“Money is imaginary, just like God.”
The Dude abides.
"Do you really need to buy that ?"
“In idiocracy we live”
It doesn’t have to be a replacement. They just need to take that shit off.
United We Stand.
"May the Force be with you"
In one another we trust.
Why does it have to have any motto or slogan? It's money, not a billboard or bumper sticker. As long as it states its denomination it has done all it needs to do. I'm frankly surprised it doesn't say "Ten dollars, brought to you by XYZ Corp." or some other nonsense.
America! Fuck Yeah!!
Land of the Free (mostly as a reminder regarding our FREEDOM!)
"Trust no one."
"In money we trust"
The mark of the beast
“All hail big daddy J-POW”
This is your god
"Don't Touch Our Boats"
"In We, We Trust"
We ‘ave da meats
Fuck you all. I've got mine.
How about "It's got electrolytes" Makes as much sense as the current nonsense, plus it's where we're heading I'm afraid....
Brawndo! It’s what you crave!
One of the original mottos on our coinage was "Mind your business"
And God we trust was added and 1955, obviously it’s not needed. Just take the stupid shit off the money. It was a political power play and a continuation of the BS confederacy.
"Mind Your Business" from the first issued US coin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugio\_cent
“Pennies make cents”
What Joseph Campbell said when they asked him to boil everything down: Follow Your Bliss
Don’t say “great replacement”
"We Whip Nazi Ass."
Freedom Sold Separately.
I always liked Wisconsin's state motto" "Forward"
"Bitcoin's Better."
In Dogs We Trust (far more real and cooler)
I vote for the original motto: e pluribus unum
In Science We Trust
Lorem ipsum
In God We Distrust
Per aspera, ad astra. "Through hardships to the stars." It recalls our aspirations in the Apollo program, acknowledges that our nation still has a lot of work to do to make up for its past, and it obliquely evokes the "constellation" of 50 stars on the flag.
In god we trust was only added in 1954 in a prior bout of religious nuttiness.
"Fuck you. Pay me."
"To punish and enslave"
"Freedom of religion. Freedom from religion."
Be excellent to each other.
"We can't believe that we convinced you that paper is money!"
“In money we trust” fits the capitalist system pretty well.
A blank space or something like "United we stand"
The American ego is annoying.
Eat the rich
Team america fuck yeah!!!!
"roll this for drugs in an emergency"
Being an aethist (British) child of the 70's, I vote Bod.... https://youtu.be/B4IiktFp3p4?si=kSGeOtFzi17n6T89

“Thoughts and Prayers suckers!!!”
In Science We Trust
Why does the money have to have ANY slogan on it? Just take it off and leave a blank space.
I can't think of a reason why there should be anything on there at all.
E pluribus unum

"Don't spend it all in one place" Not sure why you need anything at all. Here in Canada we had a hockey poem on the Five for a few years. I didn't mind it even though I don't practice hockey.
How about we just get out the eraser on the theist bullshit and go back to how it was?
"No fatalities today?"
