Recently I posted the following:
"THE U.S. MINT DOES NOT HAVE "IN GOD WE TRUST" ON IT. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE REST OF YOU, BUT I WON'T BE USING THIS COIN, NOR WILL I ACCEPT IT IN ANY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION."
Apparently the original information I had received to this effect was incorrect. At the suggestion of a parishioner I went to US Mint.gov and discovered the words "in God we trust" are indeed on the new $1 dollar coing. The words are inscribed not on the front or back, but on the sides of the new coins.

My apologies to the US Mint.
SHAME ON ME!!!
"Mea culpa! Mea culpa! Mea maxima culpa!"
