No, I haven't seen them, but I hope to.
For folks who get all up in arms over whether or not those words are on the money...does it really matter? It's superstitious to think that printing or stamping those words on the money changes what is what. If you believe, great, live your faith, worship your God, that is what matters, not what a government stamps on a coin. That does not change or prove what people believe, how they act, or their relationship to their creator or creation.
But hey, it's easier to make a stink about that than to actually live our faith, and it will make people think we're so "into" God.
This reminds me of the women at work who are all wearing their "Jesus" t-shirts, and talking trash about everyone else.
Words mean nothing, actions mean everything. I'd rather people lived their professed faith than slapped symbols of it everywhere like talismans.

I have not seen these new coins but will jump in with Free Thinker and will not accept them if they don't. We as Christians can make our statement that way. Imagine if all Christians did this the impact it would make, after all, we are the majority in this country. If people do not want "In God We Trust" on their money let them use credit cards, they don't have it on them.

This is your government so you have to let it go..just don't you and I use them...dollar coins never made it in this country anyway..nobody wants them and for different reasons than you and I.When they take IN GOD WE TRUST off anything it's a matter of political correctness...the govt has to appease the atheist rabble rousers out there too. And I never knew so MANY exist...their prob..not mine..keep in mind this one thing..when the legislators sit down in session...including the Supreme Court...they open with PRAYER...they realize the benefits of divine guidance...and Lord knows they need it. Stay faithful to God and let your country do the best they can with what they have...God Bless

Really, the coin is just confirming the truth.
But if not God, who does America trust? Wealth?? The "almighty" dollar!?!
Manna???
No wonder they had to remove the 10 commandments; even though hypocritically expecting witnesses to "swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and only the truth, so help me God" on the bible.
Had God not said "Have no gods before me"!?!
Manna is a god.
The term "almighty" dollar usurps the character of ALMIGHTY God!
The state has undermined the Church, rather than "be seperate"; the very opposite of what the founders envisioned.
No one could have imagined this post-Christian secular humanist society.

I't"ll be a sad day in America if that does begin to happen! Shame on you who want to take God out of America! Go live in a country that does not honor Christianity and then report back to us how it is. Atheists and agnostics should be thankful there are people praying for the US and yes, even them. Otherwise we are doomed! If "God" continues to be 'deleted' in America, we as Christians will need to stand up and regain foothold. None of this "It makes me sad"; we need to contact our congressmen and not allow atheists nor satan have their way! Deal?

It shouldn't be on government property in the first place. Eventually it will be removed from ALL money. Meanwhile, it will help the Supreme Court strip the 'religiousness' from 'God' (as it did with the Pledge case), which means worship of him won't be protected by the First Amendment.
If ANYONE should want 'God' removed from money and the Pledge, etc., it should be Christians (who ought to be opposed to his name being used in vain, especially ON a graven image, which is also forbidden by the Ten Commandments).
It's funny to have 'God' printed on something which the Bible says (the love of) is the root of all evil.

I don't have one right now to look at but I think it says it around the edge of the coin.

I went to McDonalds a while back and they gave me change of 3 coin dollars. I rejected them and asked for paper dollar bills. It is our choice what to do with them. United we stand!!!

No, this is the first I've heard of it. Maybe it's printed on the coins, but in such small letters it would be hard to read.

No
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and render unto God that which is Gods.
Another sign of the End of Days?
