The switch has begun!

Please help do this ... refuse to accept these when they are handed back to you. I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a dollar bill instead. The lady just smiled and said, 'Way to go,' so she had read this e-mail. Please help out. Our world is in enough trouble without this too!

New US Dollar Coin, sans "In God We Trust"

[...]
Oh, and Jefferson wanted the National Bird to be a Dove, too.... Can we hook that up?

Randilover--Glad to see you back again today, I know it sucks crawling around under a house, shit, the spiders freak me out!!! Hang Tough Bro', Tap

I said SOCKET not SPROCKET!"

Damn, beat me to it.

Thank you Snopes for also pointing out that, "In God We Trust" wasn't put onto our money until the 1950's.

IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.
Another Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865. It allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." Under the Act, the motto was placed on the gold double-eagle coin, the gold eagle coin, and the gold half-eagle coin. It was also placed on the silver dollar coin, the half-dollar coin and the quarter-dollar coin, and on the nickel three-cent coin beginning in 1866. Later, Congress passed the Coinage Act of February 12, 1873. It also said that the Secretary "may cause the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to be inscribed on such coins as shall admit of such motto."

The use of IN GOD WE TRUST has not been uninterrupted. The motto disappeared from the five-cent coin in 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel began in 1938. Since 1938, all United States coins bear the inscription. Later, the motto was found missing from the new design of the double-eagle gold coin and the eagle gold coin shortly after they appeared in 1907. In response to a general demand, Congress ordered it restored, and the Act of May 18, 1908, made it mandatory on all coins upon which it had previously appeared. IN GOD WE TRUST was not mandatory on the one-cent coin and five-cent coin. It could be placed on them by the Secretary or the Mint Director with the Secretary's approval.

The motto has been in continuous use on the one-cent coin since 1909, and on the ten-cent coin since 1916. It also has appeared on all gold coins and silver dollar coins, half-dollar coins, and quarter-dollar coins struck since July 1, 1908.

A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate.

Not true.

Well the dollar thing may be untrue but I've heard that a George W. Bush quarter is in the works.


He's a real two bit president.

If this is true, I'm going to order hundreds of them, and spread them like Johnny Appleseed.

Not true.

For some reason this reminded me of an old joke Steve Martin once told. I can't remember the set up lines, but the punch line was, "I said SOCKET not SPROCKET!" (or vice versa, I can't remember lol)

At my work we got loads of these new Presidential dollar coins in our machines. I could put a $20 in and get like 16 of them right now. Maybe I'll borrow my mom's digital camera and show you guys the coins.
They have 'In God We Trust' on them, but they are on the edge of the coin. Over time, it might wear off though.

I like that our coins have that on it.

Oops, Whatswrongwithpeople beat me to it. Sorry to correct you folks twice.

Damn, beat me to it.

Thank you Snopes for also pointing out that, "In God We Trust" wasn't put onto our money until the 1950's.

I don't trust in any god, because I do not need a god. I am not alone.

Stop shoving your god down the throats of the entire country, that phrase needs to be taken off.

No one is forcing you to eat these coins.

Take the phrase off.

We don't need it.

With due respect to your sister, and her opinions, but she is a prime example of the type of voter that the republican party preys upon, and wins their support. Again, with due respect, these type of voters are lvery dangerous people because of their failure to take the time to check out the truth, and how they easily fall for the fascist tactic of lies, and innuendo.

And,might I suggest you send her these comments, with the picture.

This isn't true either. 'In god we trust' first appeared on our money in like 1862 I think. It wasn't law until the 1950's to have it on all US currency.

I actually have an 1888 silver dollar in my bedroom that has IGWT on it.

We have God, but we no longer have liberty.

Our coins should have nothing on them. No presidents, lady liberty; Eplurbius Unum or anything. Not everyone is fond of these things. The denomination and the country where the money is good should be all that's on there. If they do anything else, I consider it being shoved down my throat. I'll complain until I get what I like.

We should start a petition to take the presidents' faces off of the currency and have them put Jesus being scourged at the pillar instead.

Something really nice and bloody, horrific enough to make babies cry.

Then when people are against it, we simply ask them why they hate Jesus. It sure feels good to stoop to their level sometimes.

Got this E-Mail from my sister who still thinks Obama is Muslem. She's getting political advice from the very rich republican Dr. she works for.

Anyway, has anyone heard about this?
