Well, it isn’t the first time the words “dollar coin” and “loonies” are close together. :rolleyes:
When the Kennedy half dollar first came out, some paranoid fool saw the engraver’s initials on Kennedy’s neck. Mistaking it for a hammer and sickle, he let everybody know about the Communist Plot.
Does this mean the dollar coins will be godless heathens?
Cool! I could have a pocketful of godless heathens. I can buy things and ask “how many godless heathens is that?”. I could give the homeless a godless heathen and say “no one blesses you”. Oooh, what would happen if I went into a church and threw a godless heathen in the collection plate? Providing I don’t burst into flames once I walk in the door.
And here’s a dollar as a token of my esteem?
We called it godless currency the rest of the day. She then tried to tell me (the next day) that" it’s been since prayer was taken out of school that all this has happened." Not sure what “all this” is, but didn’t want to delve. I told her I was Pagan (this is not true). She is genuinely shocked and uneasy. Tee Hee. Who says I can’t have fun at work? 
Ugh. I have tried soooooo hard to get some of those dollars. When I first saw the OP, I thought “dear Og, this can’t be for real.” Thank you for letting us know it was a whoosh. GAH!
Wait, people actually have to try to get dollar coins? 
I’ve been getting them in the change machine at work for ages. I spent four of them on sodas and chips just last night and still have a John Adams left.
Maybe you should try looking for a change machine that takes bills bigger than ones.
The few that were put into circulation without the In doG we trust on them, yeh, one must try to get!
You, too? That’s where I get all my news. You just can’t trust the papers and TV channels. They ignore or suppress the really good stuff. Everyone knows they’re controlled by the Illuminati. Or the Saudis. Or Bush. Or somebody.
Email news is the real truth, you bet.
Ahhhhh. I misunderstood you. Thought you were just looking for President dollars, period.
I figured as much, no big deal. I actually got a huge laugh at Christmas over a simliar thing. I got a roll of gold dollars from the bank for Gelt for the stockings (of course we also had the chocolate kind, but I thought it’d be fun to have spendable Gelt too) and used a couple of them to pay for something at the store. While paying, the lady behind me started oohing and ahhing because she’d just paid $5 each plus shipping for 5 of the shiny new Madison dollars that I was “spending like it’s nothing.”
Could I ask the mods why this is in the pit. The OP I assume knows that Snopes has covered this.The replies are mostly attempts at humour. Why has not this been moved?
Lighten up, Francis.
According to the update at the bottom of the snopes page, a paragraph was tossed into the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, so that the phrase will appear on one side or the other “as soon as is practicable.” I guess it’s easier to read that way…
unless you’re a pagan godless athiest heathen, in which case, you would have known to read the edge.
That would make sense, too. Like the old joke about building a mouse by committee and ending up with an elephant.
Sure, by hitting that little red triangle which says “report this post”.
