sbvenman Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I just got this email forwarded to me from my grandmother. It made me laugh. That third dimension really messes with people. REFUSE NEW COINS This simple action will make a strong statement. Please help do this.. Refuse to accept these when they are handed to you. I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a dollar bill instead. The lady just smiled and said 'way to go' , so she had read this e -mail. Please help out...our world is in enough trouble without this too!!!!! U.S.Government to Release New Dollar Coins You guessed it 'IN GOD WE TRUST' I S GONE!!! If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!! DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE Together we can force them out of circulation.. Please send to all on your mailing list!!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'd be interested to know if this has an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The religious nuts who started this still haven't figured out how to read the edge of the coin ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Edited after rereading the OP and figuring out that he was laughing at letter not passing it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 My sister in law sent this a while back. Sent back a reply which explained it and told her if she actually found one and was offended she could send it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I received a similar email awhile ago from a relative. I promptly sent it back with an explanation and requested they send the email back down the line. I wonder how far that email went? Probably not far if this chain email is still going around.

I recall sending an explanation of how there are some $1 coins that mistakenly did not have the edge writing and those are worth considerably more $$$. (Looks like Ebay still has a few being sold for around $50). I wonder if there will ever be a time where the "Godless" coins become unpopular due to the finding that edge lettering wears off when in circulation for a number of years? Of course, in order for that to happen the coins have to be used in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I got this same email from a coworker over a year ago. I sent him an explanation along with a picture. He thanked me and forwarded my email to everyone he had sent the first one to. It still wont die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
