It's dumbass for a secular nation to not promote religion on their currency?

How effective the revised version of history which the christians have created has been.

"God", or anything about a god or gods, has no place on American currency.

Damn liberals finally got their way...

Good. This "mistake" should happen more frequently. As in, all the time.

Uh oh, this'll piss off the moneychangers.

It's ok... I never trusted that guy anyway.

I can't shake this feeling that Al Franken is somehow to blame for all this...

Worth $40 on e-bay?

1) Get a roll of these coins properly minted with the edge inscription.

2) Polish off the inscription.

3) Profit!

Brilliant

As I said before, these coins will be worth $Millions... unless it's intentional.

Damn. Before God stops having anything to do with money, I'd better go cash a check from him for $50,000 ;)

I blame the godless liberals currently running our country.

robbyking: Damn liberals finally got their way...

Well, considering even the US Treasury Department admits it was added solely to exalt the Christian God, maybe it's time the US Government stopped its practice of breaching the First Amendment.

/Stupid liberals, with their insistence that we follow a conservative interpretation of one of the founding documents of our Country.

As long as I can spend it, I don't give a fcuck what it says on my money or whose picture is on it.

I tried to spend a few of the new dollar coins at Hardees drive-through a few days ago, and I didn't think the cashier was going to accept them.

I handed her the coins...the window closed...she disappeared... she reappeared later ...the window opened... she asked 'are these the new dollars?'... I said yes... the window closed again...

I think she showed them to everyone there, before she finally allowed me to have my sammich.

FTA:
Production of the presidential dollar entails a "new, complex, high-volume manufacturing system"

Yeah, good thing they went to all that trouble so no mistakes would occur.

You guys sure are getting upset over a few words on some money

/what?
 
2007-03-07 02:21:44 PM
Am I the only one who sees this as part of a promotional campaign to get the American public FINALLY interested in using a dollar coin?

I'll admit it's an underhanded ad-trick, but there'll be enough non-numismatic, ego-driven, causeheads out there who'll cream their jeans to have one of the "exclusive" coins.

And don't you like the bit about "An unknown number"..? Makes the mystery all the more enticing, doesn't it? It'll be like "Lost", but with coins.

Just thank God you didn't try to use them at a Taco Bell.

And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Them sounds like liberal talk to me!!!

Corvus: Them sounds like liberal talk to me!!!

Well...seeing as he was holding up a Roman coin at the time he said that, a coin which presumably contained a graven image of Ceasar, he may have been referring to the fact that an idolater like Caesar deserved only death, Biblically speaking :)

I don't really care whether or not they do minor religious endorsements like this on money. I'd rather they didn't, but it's not that important.

rockneedsasavior: As I said before, these coins will be worth $Millions... unless it's intentional.

There's 50,000 of them in circulation. I might hold on to one if I get my hands on it, but it won't be worth all that much.

Just wait until they mint the Teddy Roosevelt $1 coins with the slogan on them.

"My own feeling in the matter is due to my very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good but does positive harm, and is in effect irreverence, which comes dangerously close to sacrilege ... it seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen such a motto by use on coins, just as it would be to cheapen it by use on postage stamps, or in advertisements."
-Theodore Roosevelt on putting "In God We Trust" on money
 
2007-03-07 03:21:37 PM
Wow, that coin would have to be like three times bigger than the Kennedy half-dollar.
 
2007-03-07 03:28:48 PM
I can literally feel the terrorists being emboldened by this.

I'm going to go out and get one of these to counter the damage done by the godless, troop-hating libs at the US Mint:

HumbleGod: Wow, that coin would have to be like three times bigger than the Kennedy half-dollar.

Good! Now, we need to outlaw banknotes and drive-throughs.

That way, all the fatties will exercise away their weight when they walk with their jingling pockets into the hamburger stand. It's like lifting weights, but more annoying.

2007-03-07 04:21:27 PM
Technically, you "strike" coins, you don't print them.
 
2007-03-07 04:39:56 PM
Do you think they'll print a dictionary too? So you stop spelling ATHEIST like a sneeze?
 
2007-03-07 04:40:27 PM
God doesn't give a crap about being mentioned on money.

Those "inspectors" were boozing on the job I surmise.

How come the athiests get a coin before the atheists? I before E except after C, or if you're godless. one or the other.
 
2007-03-07 04:42:11 PM
I thought the new dollar coins DID say "In God We Trust". It's imprinted on the rim of the coin.

The one thing that IS missing from the coin that's on every other coin: the word "Liberty", which shows you what the government is REALLY being taken out of our lives.

I've heard the new $2 bills have "In Fnorgby We Trust" on them.
