'Godless dollars' are back again

It appears our secular progressive friends at the U.S. mint have done it again.

The very same people who couldn't explain how thousands of George Washington dollar coins managed to leave the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia without "In God We Trust" stamped on the edge have goofed again.

The Associated Press reported today that new dollar coins featuring John Adams are missing edge inscriptions including "In God We Trust," according to the Professional Coin Grading Service, a rare coin authentication company.

The Mint made the same "mistake" with the George Washington dollar coins earlier this year.

Take heart, coin collectors. The Mint has 40 more chances to get it right as it continues to roll out four presidential coins a year until it puts all the presidential likenesses on coins. That gives the Mint until 2016 to get it right.

The Mint's credibility is a bit strained. Two coins released this year. Two blunders so far?

And of all the stupid mistakes the Mint and its high-paid inspectors could make, it had to be the deletion of "In God We Trust" from the edge of the dollar coins.

The Mint has already come under fire for delegating "In God We Trust" to the edge of coins instead of the traditional placement of the National Motto on the face of the coins. The 2007 debut of the "Godless dollars" marks the first time since 1866 that the National Motto does not appear on the front or back of American dollar coins.

The Mint "has heard about these reports (of the defective Adams' coins) and is looking into them," Jana Prewitt, a spokeswoman for the agency, told the Associated Press.

In addition to missing "In God We Trust," the defective Washington dollar coins were also released without "E Pluribus Unum" and the year and mint mark.

After the initial "godless dollars" were discovered, the Mint pledged to double its monitoring efforts and closely monitor the striking process.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

What do you think? Another example of how the secular left is working to remove all Judeo-Christian symbols from the United States or another example of government incompetence?
