The New US Dollar Coin

Report This Post

This new dollar coin released by our government is one that may go down in history being the first of its kind without the "In God We Trust" being placed in any US money! Some people are outraged over this saying our government is not basing the Christianity for which this Country was established on! Is the government turning everything around just to please the USA's different realigns or are they looking to change things for another reason?

What do you think about our new US coin and it's lack of those common words that is placed on all our other money here in the US? Will you refuse one and request a bill instead as a protest or do you just think "Its Only Money, not a big deal"?

Blog it here!

I dont care what it says on it, I just wont ever use a 1$ coin when I can use a light weight peice of paper instead.
What is wrong with our stupid governement? Didnt they learn the first 5 times that the 1$ coin wont work?

As long as it works, I don't care what it says, or doesn't say, for the most part. It's only money. I'm not going to get into a snit over it.

The problem with the last dollar coin (the gold one with Sacagawea on the front) was that it was TOO popular. Too many people were collecting them instead of actually using them. I rarely ever saw them. Some stores wouldn't even take them because they didn't believe it was real money!

Oh, and Di, on a side note, and completely unrelated, I saw the new 2008 Betty Boop calender at Kmart in Orange City. Almost every picture has her either on a motorcycle or in biker gear. I thought of you when I saw it. Feel free to delete this post once you've read it. Just letting you know in case you haven't bought it already and were interested.

I will start using the Dollar coin when politicians tell the truth.

I would say when pigs fly, but that will happen before a politician will ever even think about telling the truth.

I was handed a dollar coin the other day, I didn't look at it. I gave it to someone else. I think I'll check it out, I'm sure this person still has the coin. Wow, no In God We Trust on it. I'd rather carry paper, because Some of the other $1 coins, I've mistaken for quarters, so instead of paying $1, for an item, I've actually spent $1.75.

I have like 5 of them. They are nice, kind of look like pirate coins lol and I like that they put it on the sides/edge of the coin which is very rare. The coin will not replace the paper dollar, that just will not happen.

Yes , render unto Caesar what is Caesar's AND render unto God what is his! In this “one nation under god” we have always printed this on our money, what change this ? What message are we to send and receive from this action....we have become the world greatest consumer and producer with God on our curacy I say stay the coarse. ...changing anything that “works” is always a bad idea!

Glad we agree dida , in some ways even with out the “Christianity” we should honor tradition (witch is based on a Christian foundation) Because of all the successes that this country has enjoyed and for all the true GOOD this country (and it fuddy duddy old Christian foundation) has done in and for the World ! God I love this country ! I really do!
