[QUOTE=windwakr;23750321]I don't like it. At all.
What exactly was wrong with the memorial and the tiny Lincoln?[/QUOTE]
Not really anything you can do about this though, is there?
It's July and you're barely finding out about this? I've had a few for a while now.

Yeah what can i say? I just got my hands on one today.
Doesn't it cost more to make a penny than their actually worth?
Looks nice. I'll be sure to bring a fuckload home like I usually do if I go to the states again.
But who the fuck likes pennies anyway?
I've seen it, it is really cool, and if you got some of them when they first came out, they are shiny as hell.
I have a bunch of wheat pennies.
They are worth 2 cents each.
A step forward would be removing pennies completely.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;23750427]why are people rating this post dumb[/QUOTE]
Because it offers no supporting evidence and expresses a rather trite opinion in an inarticulate manner.
Let's examine the whole issue from both points of view.
If you're religious in some way, or at least theistic, you would appreciate a few words on a penny. They support the existence of religion without specifying which one, which was the purpose of "separation of Church and State" in the first place.
If you're atheistic, or perhaps agnostic, I don't see why it bothers you. The statement is, statistically, true: well over 90% of America belongs to some religion. Further, what does it hurt? A few extra molecules of copper on the currency? It doesn't affect any laws, it doesn't actually cause anyone to believe one way or another, it simply states that most Americans trust (a) God.
Because it puts forward the notion that you must trust in a god. You'd think that by this day and age people would be at least open minded enough not to push any religious views on other people. There is really no reason to have something like that written on currency.

Why does it matter, it's a fucking penny, you spend it not read it.
then why are they putting anything on it in the first place

That's quite retarded.
Let's have a statue of Jesus on the white house, it's a fucking building, you walk in it not look at it.
I want my pennies to say "In Odin We Trust"!
ITT: Butthurt atheists.

No it isn't, you don't look at a penny before you give it to someone do you, but you may be visiting the white house just to take pictures.
[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;23750827]ITT: Butthurt atheists.[/QUOTE]
looks like you have little idea of what you're talking about.
Pennies cost more to make then they are worth.
In god we trust... In government we hope...
[QUOTE=nullsquared;23750366]New design?
Lets start by removing that "in god we trust" B.S. - what happened to separation of gov't and religion?[/QUOTE]
Does a couple little letters on a coin really impact your life that much? Do you feel like your religious beliefs are offended by such a tiny little piece of currency?
[QUOTE=Legend286;23750843]No it isn't, you don't look at a penny before you give it to someone do you, but you may be visiting the white house just to take pictures.[/QUOTE]
Look at the big picture. You're placing unneeded religious items and phrases on official government objects/property.
You're silly if you think that's acceptable.

Who are you and why does your dumb opinion matter? I don't see a thing about atheist butthurt arguments for its removal. I see arguments with real understanding and thought that are showing how statements like that one negatively affect the US.

Except, it's not a specific religion, which makes it fine.

Not really, from what i've seen so far a lot of the people here are just as bad as the religious fanatics they're complaining about
This thread is relative to penny collectors. I have 3 of these from lunch today

It's four words. Four words that don't effect you or me (me especially since I don't live in the US) in anyway at all. Get over it, it's kind of pathetic when I think about it.
[QUOTE=Legend286;23751057]Except, it's not a specific religion, which makes it fine.[/QUOTE]
No it doesn't, because there are people who don't believe in god.

You clearly don't understand how anything works and need to just stop breathing to save your parents the cost of feeding you daily.
[editline]04:04AM[/editline]
I don't live in the US by the way, this argument isn't about whether it effects me or whether I get butthurt over it, it's the statement itself and the motive behind it along with the conclusions you are forced to draw from it.

Whatever, you can all go back to fighting over the embossed letters on a disk shaped piece of metal that don't effect you in any way shape or form except for making you 1 cent richer.

In other words;
"I'll just leave this thread now because I don't know what the hell I'm talking about"
