The New Nickel

Just got my first one.

It looks very nice, as long as you don't think about what it says:

1. Thomas Jefferson, the Deist, is next to the slogan 'In God We Trust", something a Deist would have no reason to think about, one way or the other.

2. The buffalo, who formerly numbered millions and millions, and then was hunted almost to extinction, is next to the slogan 'E Pluribus Unum', or 'from many, one'.

Government planning at its best?
