14 March 2007: Trusting in God

All American coins bear the words "In God We Trust" around the rim. At least, they should. But the U.S. Mint has revealed that an unknown number of the new one-dollar coins have been produced with the words missing. The Mint admits that it doesn't know how the mistake occurred or how many of the coins are in circulation.

As with defective stamps, the coins are much sought by collectors. One of the coins recently sold on eBay for $405. That's a 40,000 percent premium for not trusting in God.
