no it's not

There's an email circulating about how "In God We Trust" has been omitted from the new dollar coins. It has not. The motto, along with the Great Seal motto and the mint date are on the edge of the coin to make room for new features like the dates of each president's term(s).

There was a set released right after the first mint that accidentally got printed without the inscription on the edge, but it is not the intent of the designer to phase God out of America.

Just thought you should know.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that. It may not have been the intent of the designer to phase God out...but I wonder where this will go. I'm not saying I know, or giving a sly wink and nod...I'm just saying...hmm. I wonder.
