"Vires in Numeris" = "Strength in Numbers" is appealing the most to me. It is simple and works on more than one level at the same time.

Woot, I actually contributed to the community! Wink

That motto is my new favorite. I love double meanings, and both interpretations fit bitcoin perfectly.

Why in english language ?
It should be
強さの数字
or
數字的力量

Just a front view of the coin without the background would be great.

I'm going to bed. Will continue working on some different variations tomorrow. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks for the feedback!

I really like your graphics, bytepimp! If you have time, could you do one without the 2 circles on the coin next to the 'B'? The ones with 'b' and 'c' in them?

Thanks! Yes of course :-)

Here's a simplified coin. Great suggestion. Any others?

Wow, I really like "strength in numbers". Nice thinking, Vlad!

It's epii who suggested this (in this thread anyway).

I agree. I like "Liberty starts with free money" too, but this one is shorter and indeed has multiple meanings

"Free money" has a good and bad meaning imo. "Strength in numbers" is awesome.

1) There was this good slogan "Liberty starts with free money". How about it?

2) Coins usually have reeded or milled edge. This one looks like a gilded hockey puck

Indeed it does. Oh well, it's free! Take it or leave it. :-) Besides, aren't we re-defining the concept of a coin anyway? It's just fancy eye candy. Enjoy!

If we're throwing around Latin mottos, "Vires in Cryptographia" = "Strength in Cryptography". (c.f. "Vires in Numeris" = "Strength in Numbers".)

However, I think the whole "In xxx we trust" is a bad idea from a PR perspective

Agreed. It also makes it seem too American.

bytepimp, since everyone else is making requests, can I make one more:

Simply replace the motto with 'Bitcoin' in exactly the same size and font as where it says Bitcoin on the top half.

Yes of course you may. I have no personal attachment to any "phrase" or symbols used on the coin design. I'm happy to help the cause. Keep the suggestions coming.

For a non-religious motto, how about a variation of "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One)? The English translation could be something like "Out of Many, Money" (which has a nice ring to it I think). I'm no Latin expert, but Google Translate tells me that "E Pluribus Pecunia" translates to English as "Out of Many, the Money."

EDIT: More playing with Google Translate suggests that "E Pluribus Pecuniam" may be more accurate.

Personally, I think that "In math we trust" would be better than "In cryptography we trust", since more people would understand that.

However, I think the whole "In xxx we trust" is a bad idea from a PR perspective, since whatever the xxx, it is obviously replacing "God". That will leave a bad taste in the mouths of very many people. Many fundamentalists would probably end up swearing off bitcoin for no other reason.

There was actually a discussion about creating a bitcoin motto a while back in a very similar thread to this one:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6455.20

My favorite suggestion from that thread is:

Iunctum in Divortium (Unity in Division)
