The Godforsaken Dollar
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
The AP: It looks like the U.S. Mint has struck again _ or not struck again, depending on how you look at it. New dollar coins featuring John Adams are missing edge inscriptions including "In God We Trust," according to the Professional Coin Grading Service, a rare coin authentication company based in Newport Beach, Calif.
The company said people have found hundreds of Adams dollar coins without the edge lettering, repeating a previous mistake. In March, an unknown number of George Washington dollar coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint without "In God We Trust," "E Pluribus Unum," and the year and mint mark inscribed on the edge.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Mint said the agency is looking into the reports.
After the Washington "godless dollars" were discovered, the Mint pledged to more closely monitor the striking process.
