"In God We Trust" Removed from $1 Coin

Lie Pie Title: "In God We Trust" Removed from $1 Coin
Lie Pie Classification: lie pie classic

Editor's Note:  Here's another one that isn't true, but unfortunately is successful because it enrages all those good folks who tend to have a persecution complex when it comes to the phrase "In God We Trust."  Apparently this coin series was mandated by the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, and it ordered "In God We Trust" to be inscribed on the edge of the coin.

Now, if you want to have a discussion about whether "In God We Trust" should be on the face or the side of a coin, let's have that discussion.  Why start out by lying about the phrase being removed altogether, and go even further in other viral variations by declaring it evidence a conspiracy is afoot to phase God out of America?  Whoever wrote this one is a little unhinged, and people of faith would do well to avoid folks who enjoy inciting misplaced outrage.  I despise these no-goods who prey on and exploit the religious convictions of others.

It might be time for everyone to read up on the history of the phrase, "In God We Trust" and find out how and when it ended up on our currency.  Looks like it didn't appear on any U.S. currency until 1864. A visit to the U.S. Treasury's website is in order!   --Granny, 1/31/09

P.S.  Just wrote a blog about "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance with mention of "In God We Trust" on our currency.  Check it out if you are so inclined!  --Granny, 6/11/09
