The Vail Spot: In God We Trust Is Gone From New Currency

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

In God We Trust Is Gone From New Currency

I received an email from a friend in which a claim was made that "In God We Trust" was removed from the face of the new "Presidential" $1 coins.

What has been remvoved and placed on the edge of the coin is the year minted and the traditional phrase "E Pluribus Unem".
