What I love is the people that think the founding fathers put that motto on the dollar. That was added with McCarthys support during the red scare. So we could appear different than the "godless commies."
hey- sacajawea was one of my favorite "famous women" when i was a kid i did reports on her and everything ;Dand i've experienced the benefits of large coinage when i lived in germany, & it's great. i haven't really used any dollar coins in the usa, though.

Another fun tip - On the back of the penny, up against the lower edge of the Lincoln Memorial, there's 2 letters: FGFrank Gasparro
