Chrissy3818 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Someone gave me one of the new coins today and I searched the coin front and back and no where on it, did it say "In God We Trust" so they do exist. Quote

LittleWyvern Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Someone gave me one of the new coins today and I searched the coin front and back and no where on it, did it say "In God We Trust" so they do exist.It's around the edge of the coin. Because of the words are engraved on the edge, they can quickly wear down and become illegible. Quote
MarginOfError Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Check the edge. If you don't see it there, you probably have a coin that was misprinted. The design was to have the words inscribed on the edge, but there was a process error and some of the coins didn't get to the inscription machine. So who took "In God We Trust" off the new one dollar coin? Human error. Quote
Chrissy3818 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Posted November 8, 2012 Guys I Looked on the edge it was not there. there was no room on it. The 4th presidents head took up the coin. No in God we trust Quote
pam Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 It's not on the front where the head is. It's along the edge. And as some have mentioned..the edges wear and it can come off. Quote

pam Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 If it didn't have it, you would have received 1 out of only 50,000 printed in 2007. Those were the only ones printed that didn't have "In God We Trust." But since you know longer have the coin (just think of the value it would have brought it you did.) Quote

pam Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Well don't believe the urban legends. Quote
Chrissy3818 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Posted November 8, 2012 Well don't believe the urban legends.I can see lol next time I find one I'll take a picture Quote
Guest SquidMom Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 It's around the edge of the coin. Because of the words are engraved on the edge, they can quickly wear down and become illegible.I meant that there are so many people trying to get God's name removed from any government text or coinage, i.e., the Pledge of Allegience, dollar bill. It hasn't been done (yet). I think it's just ooh too convenient that now, it takes itself off, instead. What next? BTW, I'm against removing God's name, if that is uclear. Quote

I'll just complain at the money making people for now Quote
john doe Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 It was Obama. He ordered all the dollar coins be delivered to the Oval Office so he could sand God off of them. That's why he hasn't has time to send an acceptable budget to Congress. He's busy, leave him alone. Quote
NightSG Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 It's interesting that they also moved the date and mint mark to the edge. Guess that means these things won't have much collector value in conditions low enough for those to be missing. Quote
mordorbund Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 That's the mint date? I've been throwing away the expired ones. Quote
pam Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 Don't throw anymore away. I'd be happy to recycle them for you. Quote

BTW, I'm against removing God's name, if that is uclear.Just for point of clarity:The language "In God we Trust" wasn't added to coins until 1864. It did not appear on paper money until 1957. Also, when the Pledge was originally written (by a socialist in 1892) it also did not include the language "under God". I wasn't until 1954 that the words 'under God" were added to amend the pledge. I am NOT advocating for removing either, but I do believe it is important to be honest in our communication. These are not original to US currency or the pledge. With the exception of coinage, they are products of the 1950's. -RM Quote

I wasn't until 1954 that the words 'under God" were added to amend the pledge.In my own very humble opinion, the phrase "under God" interrupts the euphony of the original iambic-ish feel of "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." You need to have a fourth unstressed syllable to make it work.Unfortunately, removing the phrase at this point would be a blatant political statement. Much better to leave things as they are. Quote
