Apparently many new dollar coins were recently struck without the phrase, "In God We Trust." Is this yet one more sign of end-times? Wasn't this prophesied somewhere? I just hope the number wasn't divisible by 666.

Oh yeah ... I should've mentioned that I'm an atheist ...I was just interested in people's answers.

Sounds good to me. "In god we trust" violates the Constitution anyway.

I smiled when I read that earlier today; that is quite the gaffe about which atheists will no doubt be chuckling for some time to come. The "error" certainly reeks of Satan's intervention, likely, as you suspect, but another sign of the approaching end times. Be watchful for the disappearance of your Christian friends and relatives! However, in the interim, the coins will surely become collectors' items, so I am hopeful of acquiring one; they should be offered first to atheists and agnostics, don't you think?? Why anyway would theists want such blatantly pagan money in their possession, particularly at the onset of the Rapture??

There is no devil. On the other hand knowing what we know about the human body, how a thought alone generates chemicals to mix in the brain which starts an electrical stimulus that travels to specific nerves which in turn stimulates different groups of muscles to make it possible us to be able to walk, run, dance,and play and there are still people out there who believe that we were not created by a higher power but becouse 2 rocks bumped into each other just goes to show that there are way too many self centered people who are too ignorant to see anything but thier own pathetic little lives.

Without even reading the rest of your question, the answer is NO, as "the devil" is a mythological creature.
You've apparently been reading the spam email urban legend that has been circulating. The silly "In God We Trust" has been moved to the rim of the $1 coin, but is still there.
The USA is among the most superstitious countries in the world, and the only one that I'm aware of that feels the need to put an expression of belief in a popular deity on its currency, like some sort of magic talisman.
If you look at the rest of the US currency, there are all kinds of mystical symbols...the "all seeing eye", "the pyramid" etc. Why do Christians use currency that has all those pagan symbols on it??

The phrase "In God We Trust" was added in the 1940s or 1950s in reaction to growing worldwide atheistic communism. It was not on the American coinage before then, and the world was no more--or less--ending then as it was between the 1950s and now. Mere lipservice to God doesn't keep you safe. If you really trust God, you don't need a slogan on the coins to remind you.

Another false rumor started by religionists, so they can claim they pressured the government and forced them to restore their favorite unconstitutional phrase.
The fact is, the new dollar coin does contain the phrase, but instead of being on the faces of the coin, it's printed along the edge (the first American coin to have an engraved edge).
So lighten up, Christians. Your big lie is intact.
Edit: It's a lie because we don't trust in gods, we trust what the phrase is printed on, and that includes our so-called "Christian" president.

Taking "In God We Trust " off of our coins, or dollars, is horrible, and a sign of the end times, after all, our country was born out of our relationship with god, and gods laws.

It was gremlins in the gears...or so blame the employees of the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia whose incompetence really caused the error.
For those who are writing that it's an urban myth, or "check the edge," some coins were actually struck without edge inscriptions. See the following news story:

Maybe you were looking at coins printed before the 1950s McCarthy era?

leave 666 alone. dont worry about it, dont think about it, just live your life. It's not going to be that damn obvious. None of the prophesies have been, even while they were happening.
