let's just erase all history because the godless people are complaining louder and louder each year.

LOL.

"It's history" is another way of saying it's been removed or in the past already. "That bug is history". By saying it's history you are saying it's already been removed, which is actually true considering the mistake of the godless coins. Of course, I also know what you meant, in that the text on the coin is part of our history. At least, that is my best guess based on skyscrapers comment.

Makes you wonder if it was done on purpose.

Eh, 50,000 out of 300 million isn't a lot. .00016%

0.016%, right? (unless I did my math wrong). But still not a lot.

These dollars will be highly sought after by collectors.

Well let's just erase everything that happened over 5,000 years ago because according to the bible nothing existed then.

They then have to set a date certain to stop making $1.00 bills and stick to it.

I believe that was one of their specific goals with the Saca... Indian girl dollar - to make it feel different from a quarter, unlike the Susan B. Anthony dollar. But more important is that they stop making $1 bills. Even if they have to increase production of $2 bills so people won't whine about having FOUR $1 coins in their pockets.
