Default Error Found On New Dollar Coin

The following article may be of interest.

It would be nice to see if anyone here comes across one of the errors. Finding one while metal detecting would neat.

I bought four rolls the day they came out, and they are still in their wrappers. Maybe I should inspect them eh.

Hmmm, not that I am a sceptic, but since the U.S. Treasury/MINT, has gone into the sideline of creating coin collectors, this has a fishy smell to it. What better way to ramp up the purchase of the new dollars then to "create" an error. I can see it now, hurry to your nearest bank and buy, buy, buy. The post office will have them in the stamp machines. Get a book of stamps with a c-note and recieve 92 presidential dollars in your change. Check-em-out, no keepers? Well spend them and get them into circulation.
Just me being me...... .Gil

I agree with grinsebring, to leave out "In God we trust" off of a coin, a 3rd grader could proofread better than that!

Yeah, I also believe this is done on purpose just to get interest in the new coin. I`ll be looking for those errors though.
