Weren’t there some “misstrikes” that omitted the motto altogether?

It seems they ought to reissue the early ones.

Good.
But, how about doing away with this looney altogether?
If you have ever been to the UK where you can collect a pocket full of these things large enough to sink a ship you can relate to the later part of my comment

Since switching to the George Washington dollar coin for my ball mark instead of a Susan B Anthony or Sacajawea, my putting has improved!

Has anyone actually seen one of these coins in the wild? The only places I know of which uses them are stamp machines at the post office. When these coins first came out I wanted one so I bought a book of stamps and got a squawbuck as change.
Personally I would love it if a dollar coin could replace the dollar bill. The Fed has devalued the dollar to be only a coin denomination.

My mom called me one day and said that she had one without the phrase. I told her to look at the edge very closely, and she said she had, it was not on there, and was returning it to the bank.
She did just that.

30 years later and they are STILL trying to cram that Carter Quarter down our throats.
To: Shelayne
Does she also return stamps with the airplane printed upside down to the post office?

Legislation introduced by Sens. Sam Brownback, R.-Kan., and Robert Byrd, D.-W.Va., that would return "In God We Trust" to a more visible location is awaiting President Bush's signature.Glad Congress doesn't have anything important to do.
Must have solved all of our real problems already.

Those are gold coins for collectors and investors. The US Mint has been issuing such commemoratives for a ling time.

But yet we can’t say Merry Christmas, Put up a Nativity Scene, or dispaly a bible outside a courthouse. Weird.

I confess I don’t know what that is about. I haven’t heard anything about upside down planes on stamps.
All I know is that she called me, expressed her disgust, and then drove to the bank and told the teller she did not want those coins. The teller exchanged her coins for bills.

I went to the Wacovia downtown. They had the Jefferson coins. Got 10 to throw in the top drawer along with my Susan B Anthony coins.
Haven't seen one any other place.

I confess I don’t know what that is about. I haven’t heard anything about upside down planes on stamps. I was referring to the famous inverted Jenny stamp. The post office misprinted it with the airplane upside down and 100 were released. Now each of those 100 24-cent stamps is worth about a million dollars. The dollar coin without the "In God We Trust" on the edge was probably worth a lot more than $1 to a coin collector. A quick check on the web showed that some were being offered for sale in the $100 range.
