The one thing I did notice that even upsets me more is that they tried to hide In God We Trust. It's no longer on the face of the coin, it's on the side of the coin. One day soon, it probably won't be there at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9976574.post-75347401968894719762008-11-28T17:22:00.000-05:002008-11-28T17:22:00.000-05:00Two things...The conspiracy theorist in me is incl...Two things...<BR/><BR/>The conspiracy theorist in me is inclined to believe that the dollar coins, like the state quarters, were created to increase the hoarding of "real money", thus taking it out of circulation.

I can't argue with the fact that dollar coins cost less and last longer, but you can't deny that 99 percent of the U.S. population refuses to use them.
