We finally got our shipment of the new keel boat nickels in. Our Federal Reserve district only gives us the Denver nickels and those are the only ones I have.
For the first 5 people who can answer the trivia question below, I will send you an original bank roll of the new nickels. This was a million dollar question for those who like to watch "Who wants to be a Millionaire". The guy walked away because he didn't know the answer.
Please answer by PM so I can keep track of who gave the correct answer first.
Here goes:
What coin was the first to have the motto "In God we trust" on it?

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

-----------------------------------
From Treasury Department records it appears that the first suggestion that God be recognized on U.S. coinage can be traced to a letter addressed to the Secretary of Treasury from a minister in 1861. An Act of Congress, approved on April 11, 1864, authorized the coinage of two-cent coins upon which the motto first appeared.
The motto was omitted from the new gold coins issued in 1907, causing a storm of public criticism. As a result, legislation passed in May 1908 made "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins on which it had previously appeared.
Legislation approved July 11, 1955, made the appearance of "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins and paper currency of the United States. By Act of July 30, 1956, "In God We Trust" became the national motto of the United States.
Ziggy, I still need your address to send your coins.

I'll probably open the roll and cherrypick, but I need to get some suitable gloves first.
Dang I gotta watch more TV.
