FYI!(Money)
This is strictly up to you,but for your information:
Subject:
NEW DOLLAR COIN ( DOES NOT HAVE IN GOD WE TRUST)
This new coin came out this month. The U.S. Mint hopes the redesigned $1 coin will win acceptance with consumers.
It does not have In God We Trust on it. Another way of leaving God out.
Send this on and let consumers decide if it will win acceptance or not.
Lets just keep spending our paper money forget the new coin Irish

if you mean the new golden dollar coin, we got a few as change at the aquarium last time we visited and i'm 99% percent positive that it does. not sure why it matters so much.

Same here...people sure do get worked up about it though, don't they...
I seem to recall that "In God We Trust" started appearing rather late on the money, maybe well into the 20 century, as I recall...and if one goes back to the early days of the republic, coinage instead contained a slogan that I often wish we'd bring back;
"Mind your Business"

The Anthony and Sacagawea dollars both had "In God We Trust" on them, which obviously wasn't enough to make them popular. I've been working on and off in the tourism industry since the Sacagawea dollars came out, and I have been surprised many many times by how many Americans refused to recognize them as American currency when we tried to give them as change.
I, though I am Canadian, really love the idea of the new dollar coins with the images of the past presidents on them. And to have the Great Seal, the national motto and the year on the edge of the coins instead of on their faces is really different and makes me eager for the tourism season to start for us to start getting them here!

Can't remember which nation it was, but among the coins of many countries that my daddy left to me I recall seeing some that had the edge imprinted...BTW, the traditional knurled edge that we're used to seeing on many US coins came about when they were still real silver, & some clever folks would shave a little off the edge of each flat edged coin they got a hold of, until they had enough nearly pure silver to melt down...the ridges were added to put a stop to that...

Is it bigger than the Anthony and Sacagawea? Cause that was confusing to some peeps...that the dollar was nearly the same size as the quarter.
But ya know...if it spends like a dollar I don't care what it does and doesn't say! I mean, I don't get pissed that atheist's aren't recognized in monetary form. "In God We Trust" on money isn't going to sway me one way or another. If you're a believer I think you should trust that if it isn't in front of your face all the time you'll still have the faith in your heart.
Geezzzzz...with all the things wrong in this world...yada, yada, yada!
^^^Not directed at anyone...just my thoughts out loud!
