Here's a little something for the Conspiracy theorists, The New Dollar Coins were minted without "In God We Trust". Was this a planned elimination of "God" from our money or was it a mistake, or was there so much negative feedback that the Government is now saying it was a mistake? The answer is up to you to think about and decide.
The coins, reportedly were suppose to have the messages on the edge.
HERE'S THE STORY:
PHILADELPHIA — An unknown number of new George Washington dollar coins were mistakenly struck without their edge inscriptions, including “In God We Trust,” and are fetching around $50 apiece online.
The properly struck dollar coins, bearing the likeness of the nation’s first president, are inscribed along the edge with “In God We Trust,” “E Pluribus Unum” and the year and mint mark. The flawed coins made it past inspectors and went into circulation Feb. 15.
The U.S. Mint struck 300 million of the coins, which are golden in color and slightly larger and thicker than a quarter.
About half were made in Philadelphia and the rest in Denver. So far the mint has only received reports of error coins coming from Philadelphia, mint spokeswoman Becky Bailey said.
Bailey said it was unknown how many coins lacked the inscriptions. Ron Guth, president of Professional Coin Grading Service, one of the world’s largest coin authentication companies, said he believes that at least 50,000 error coins were put in circulation.
***********************************************
But the question remains, if these were a mistake, and the Denver Mint had no problem...Why did they issue a rendering of the coins with the correct markings and not actual pictures.
