U.S. Mint’s latest production is the George Washington $1 coin, which is missing one important thing ... In God We Trust. George is the first of many new coins, as the mint has plans to introduce a new coin every three months, each one featuring the head of a U.S. President. (hat tip Gene)

All U.S. coins feature "In God We Trust" on the front. You can even make out the motto clearly on a dime. But good luck finding it on the new $1 coin.
Even if you find it, who knows how long it will remain on the coins. What part of the coin is the easiest to wear away? The edge, of course. How long will "In God We Trust" appear on the new $1 coins before the words are rubbed away entirely?
Has the ACLU and the militant atheists infiltrated the U.S. Mint?
