<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 319039, member: 4626&quot;]May well be referring to this rumor:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/lincolncent.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/lincolncent.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/lincolncent.asp</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Which came from an ignorance that the new Lincoln cents will only be changing the reverse, not the obverse.&nbsp; They noticed that &quot;In God We Trust&quot; was not on the designs shown... but neglected to notice that Lincoln cents never had &quot;In God We Trust&quot; on the <i>back</i>, only on the <i>front</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either that or they&#039;re referring to yet another rumor (that may have a kernel of truth to it, as many rumors do) that they&#039;re considering taking the lettering of the edge that has the phrase &quot;In God We Trust&quot; on it (as well as &quot;E Pluribus Unun,&quot; the date, and mintmark) due to the complications of placing lettered edges on the coin.&nbsp; If that ever happens though it would just mean moving those to the front or back of the coin (more likely the back), not eliminating them entirely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
