Just got an email from an old acquaintance who is mad about the new George Washington Dollar not having "In God We Trust" on it...
They're calling for a boycott...
Is there nothing worse in the world to complain about???????
Is this for real?

Tell them that if they wish to dispose of these dollars, I'd be happy to take them off their hands. Tell them this before you show them the edge of the coin, where this statement is found. See http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/dollarcoin.asp

Seems like a complainable action to me. I believe this nation's religious roots should be printed on our money, written on our public buildings, and expressed in our schools.

Mike, I worship at your altar. LMAO
The motto In God We Trust was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the American Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout Christians throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize God on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861.
