The words “In God We Trust” may no longer be hidden on newly minted dollar coins, thanks to an amendment to the House Financial Services appropriations bill.Rep. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said the amendment, which passed yesterday 295-127, aims to correct what he believed was an unintentional error made by Congress when it passed legislation to create the dollar coin in 2005. “At no point did anyone explain that [the words] would not be on the face of the coin,” Wicker said, leading him to try and correct the issue in this year’s legislation. The current coin has the words etched on the rim of the coin, obscuring them from view, Wicker said.
