The new $1 coins DO NOT have the phrase, "IN GOD WE TRUST" printed on them.
If you get one as change, deny it, and ask for a bill instead.

I AM UTTERLY DISGUSTED WITH THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT!!!!

Who's face is on the coin, and/or what does it look like? Any pics?

Oh, so this coin is a "trial run" to see if the public accepts the change.

Thanks for the link TM65.

Probably just trying to be more politically correct for atheists, people of different religions, etc.

Don't see why they would bother changing it when it's been like that forever though.

Still a trial run or whatever so we'll see.

Personally, I don't care what it says on it and I don't like having religion in everyday life or people pushing their religion upon another and I am not atheist. I wouldn't want the $1 coins as change anyway because I don't like coins, unless I want to collect a certain coin.

actually added to coins during the Civil War... and some "real" chirstians of the time thought it was sacriligious... (it wasn't added to paper money until after WWII.)

I know God quite well and he doesn't give a s*** either way ;)

I am suprised it didn't say
'In Obama We Trust' as he drives our country bankrupt.

Analysis: According to the U.S. Mint, an unknown number of new one-dollar George Washington coins (at least 50,000 of them, by one estimate) were erroneously struck without the motto "In God We Trust" and found their way into the batch of 300 million issued on February 15, 2007.

A rumor began circulating soon afterward to the effect that the religious slogan, which has been a standard inscription on U.S. coins since 1938 and the national motto since 1956, was intentionally omitted from the entire run of one-dollar coins.

That rumor is false, unless government sources are mistaken or lying. What remains unclear is whether it was inspired by the above-mentioned minting error or the fact that even when properly manufactured the new coin says "In God We Trust" on its outer edge instead of its face, per the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005:
