No, it should not be.

I'm more concerned about the other imagery on our currency, though.

That amongst others, yes.

And, I noticed that you were Canadian. I said "our" because America was the designated country of the thread :)

and props for DK!

I say we put "In Dog We Trust."

Dogs are pretty reliable and loyal. Plus, you can actually SEE dogs.

Pardon my blatant atheism :P

I truly don't care what U.S. tender looks like.

Its value versus Chinese Yuan and the Euro is a more pressing issue. Culture war debates like this are nothing but a ploy to distract American's from real issues.

Naw, lets put "In Pigs We Trust."

"Dogs look up to us, cats look down to us, pigs treat us as equals." -Can't remember

No, because there is no God. Also, in the ideal society, money would be abolished along with the whole class system of capitalism, so that the people would have free and equal access to the products of industrial civilization. That's my 2¢.

By the way, I think this thread ought to be moved to Politics.

Nigga please. I'm as anarchistic as the rest, but no legal tender? The barter system is hella lame.

I think yes, because if we remove it, the Communists win. And all Commies suck except for Che Guevara, that guy was cool. Also Nazis, if this country becomes Godless the Nazis will take over again and will create giant squid-like mechanisms to destroy our land. Sort of like those things from War of the Worlds, expect with Nazis on the inside instead of pussy aliens who can't even breathe in our atmosphere. Fuck it, we should all just become Buddhists so all of this crap can stop. Ever been pissed off because of Buddhists? Problem solved.

It would be a waste of money to change it. I am sure the government can't do it cheaply and effeciently.

Who fucking cares? A buck is a buck no matter what's on it. If I wiped my ass with a one hundred dollar bill, it would still be worth $100. I hate God, he sucks major cock, but I don't care if his name is on my money.

"In God We Trust' wasn't added until the last century as part of the anti-communist hysteria. I couldn't care less if it's on there or not, unless it would piss off Jerry Faldwell. If so, let's yank it.

The artwork on our coins is getting kinda lame now days, I've noticed. Geez, the old coins were classical works of Art fitting of a distinguished country. Now they look sort of cartoonish. That close-up profile of Jefferson is just sad.

You can judge a nations economy by it's coins I think. Look at Mexico's new pesos for instance, with that piece of aluminum wrapped around a tiny copper slug. I've seen bus tokens with more class.

No because of the simple fact not everyone in America believes in God

No, because America is in the largest amount of debt it has been in - ever*. IT IS CURRENTLY HIGHER THAN IN 1929!!!

Trade those dollars for gold, because as Bill Gates said not so long ago - the 'ol dollar, its gonna go down'.

As of now (12.25pm GMT), Americas National Debt stands at approximately $8,569,851,242,000.
Have a nice day, America :)

Edit: *sorry, not ever. It was higher in 1947, but apart from that, its the highest its ever been.

No, only because it wasnt added to the dollar bill until the the 50s. And i believe it was added to the penny in the 30s. Either way it was only added because the leaders of that time did not want america to be associated with the "Godlessness" of communism. Either way before the 20s or 30s there was no in god we trust on the money or in the pledge. So i say no.
