I've heard this rumor too. Filling such fine detail would be difficult and the dies would wear very rapidly.

I scanned the reverse at 9600 dpi. the image was as large as my screen, there is NOTHING THERE. I should work for mythbusters.

I wouldn't call it a "myth" necessarily. The state names are actually on the memorial, so the artist is just trying to accurately capture it.

All the states is stretching it, but the US Treas. says 26 of them are. I betcha a beer you can't name
them without looking!
