And the frog sits complacently in the skillet, as the water gets warmer and warmer.
No more God and no more citizenship.
This country is definitely moving in the right direction! (extreme sarcasm)
In related news, I saw this on Yahoo yesterday and was surprised no one had posted it (that I could see).
Some coins lack "In God We Trust"

This isn't the same thing as the original. This article states that some coins were minted without the outside edging at all.
It is appropriate that liberty was left off the coins which were also missing God. Without God there is no liberty.
Lighten up, Francis.
Besides, I don't know why they're so worked up - it's not like most people are going to use the coins in the first place.
Mountain, meet molehill.
Things must be going pretty well on all of the TMLC's other fronts if they can get involved with this.
A title of a Shakespeare play comes to mind.
Worse than that...check out this liberal comedy trash that has God having sex.... Sewer Garbage from liberals

Yep. I didn't like them when they were Susan B. Anthony's. Too close in size to half-dollars.
I really do not think this was intentional.
The Silent Majority and GOP voters that sat out the last election, supposedly to teach Republicans lacking gonads a lesson, should be happy and take credit for allowing Liberals and RINO's to destroy our freedoms and our country.
Exactly, it was not intentional it is a minting error. '
These coins could be worth HUNDREDS of dollars to collecters.
I have already gone through every one of these that I own to find out if I have any without the inscription.
This could cause a run on these coins at ALL banks.
They won't last long. They didn't learn the lesson of the Anthony dollar. People will not use it precisely because it looks and feels like the half dollar or a quarter. It is easily confused and people cannot adjust. It is just a collector item. Besides, Jesus said... "Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar."
It'd be so nice if you're right! What color shirt are you wearing with your tux?
New coin diminishes 'In God We Trust'
The U.S. Mint recently released the new presidential coin. The new coin sets an unsettling precedent. Take a look at any U.S. coin and on the face of it you will find the words, "In God We Trust." Such is not the case with the new presidential coin. The words have been moved to the thin edge not only the least visible, but also the first to wear down, leaving the words to be eventually erased off. The liberal element within our nation has waged all-out war against any acknowledgement of God in our society. This new coin represents a small victory in their war by moving our acknowledgement of God from the face of the coin (where it has been for every coin minted in the United States) to the side of the coin where it is virtually invisible. This new design is a subtle and perhaps prophetic move on the part of our coin makers at the U.S. Mint. In light of the politically correct climate in our society today, one can only conclude that the "PC police" are responsible for this change. The sift of a phrase just a few millimeters may seem innocuous, but it is like the frog in the kettle. The temperature has just been turned up a few degrees and the frog will grow accustomed to it, until one tragic day he discovers that his political correctness has turned him into the main course.

I spent mine for a quarter in a vending machine. Won't happen again as I refuse to use the new dollars. Also, the yellow was coming off the coin.
