Right wingers urged not to accept new dollar coins [View all]

One of my low-information Facebook friends just shared this:

REFUSE NEW COINS
This simple action will make a strong statement.
Please help do this.. Refuse to accept these when they are
handed to you.
I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a
... dollar bill instead.
The lady just smiled and said 'way to go' , so she had read
this e -mail.
Please help out..our world is in enough trouble
without this too!!!!!
U.S. Government to Release
New Dollar Coins
You guessed it
'IN GOD WE TRUST'IS GONE from the front and back!!!

If ever there was a reason to boycott something,
THIS IS IT!!!!

DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS
AS CHANGE

Together we can force them out of circulation..

Please send
to all on
your mailing
list!

Since December 27th, over 205,000 morons have shared this.
If fact 'In God We Trust' is on the coin. It's milled along the edge of the coin, along with 'E Pluribus Unum' (The motto all those "Strict Constitutionalists" can never seem to remember) and the year.
