Trivium Academy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 A good rule to follow is to NEVER believe anything in an email that has been forwarded to you unless you take the time to learn more about it from a reliable source. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_dollar_coin.htm ttp://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/dollarcoin.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Wilhelm Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I thought so......... somewhere I saw that it was on the edge of the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahousefullofjs Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 But I got one of these, I'm looking at it right now. It has John Quincy Adams on the front (not the George Washington coin pictured) ther is absolutely no 'In God We Trust' anywhere on the coin. I compared it to the Sacagawea coin that my son collects, the Sacagawea coin does say "In God We Trust" right there on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahousefullofjs Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Found it!!! Wow, I had to get the magnifying glass out. Yes, it is on the side of the coin. I'm going to forward this info to the person who is sending the email. Thank you everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to forward this info to the person who is sending the email. Thank you everyone!! A friend sent me a chain letter-type email to get a free computer, swearing it was true. I almost believed it until I looked into it myself. Sadly, I had to block her email because she kept sending me stuff like that and I don't want any viruses if I accidentally open one her emails. I hope your friend is more responsive.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahousefullofjs Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yeah, come to think of it, most of the stuff she sends is chain mail-type stuff. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
