I had an e-mail about this too and was glad to hear that "In God We Trust" is still on the coin, just on the side. What a funny place to put it!

Well, I was completely in the dark over this one. I hadn't heard a thing about it until now.

I don't think a dollar coin will be used much anyway. We used to ahve silver dollars, there are (or were?) 50 cent coins, that Susan B. Anthony coin - maybe it was a $2.00 coin?

I'm not comfortable with anything bigger than a quarter because I'm afraid I'll give $1.00 coin instead of a quarter. I like my dollars in paper, what can I tell you?

"In God We Trust" belongs on my money. I'm glad you looked that up Kathy.

I thought it was so cool in Switzerland. They don't use the Euro and still have their own money. It's mostly coins, and the system works much more efficiently than you would imagine. The cash register drawers have inclined gooves for each denomination. The coins are in columns rather than in bins in the drawer. Making change is extremely efficient.

We don't have any bills less than $5 We have loonies ($1) and toonies ($2) I remember when we switched from $2 bills to $2 coins and there was this thing on the radio where people could vote on what the new coins should be called. One guy called in and said they should be called "moonies" because everyone's pants would fall down with that much weight in your pockets from coins
