I recd the following via email and believe it is worth passing along here at our Forum ================ Don't accept the new dollar!!!
Please help do this... refuse to accept these when they are handed back to you. I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a dollar bill instead..the lady just smiled and said way to go,so she had read this e-mail...please help out.
U.S. Government to Release New Dollar Coins
You guessed it 'IN GOD WE TRUST' IS GONE!!!
www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/
If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!!
DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE
Together we can force them out of circulation.
Please Send to all on your mail list !! Erich

Most likely. I think I read somewhere that they took so much flak for removing the wording from the face of the coin that it will be put back on the face in future years / designs.

I personally have not seen the coin and took the email at face value because it came from someone I trust... but she now confirms what you are saying... Let's hope they put the message back where it belongs... Front and Center...

You would think it was just ridges like dimes have. I agree it belongs prominently on the face of the coin.

You can see a picture of the new coin here at the US Mint site www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/index.cfm?action=WashingtonAs you can see it only on the edge of the coin.
