It's a printing error, it is supposed to have it on there. See here
WASHINGTON — Some of the presidential dollar coins that entered circulation less than a month ago are missing the words "E Pluribus Unum" and "In God We Trust," as some coins apparently skipped a step in the factory.
The U.S. Mint said Wednesday it doesn't know how many of the coins with errors are out there. "The agency is looking into the matter to determine a possible cause in the manufacturing process," Mint officials said in a statement.
The wording, along with the year and mint location, is supposed to appear on the edge of the coins in the presidential dollar program, which kicked off with the George Washington coin last month.
Edge lettering hadn't been used on a coin since 1932, forcing the Mint to buy new machinery. -

Nobody pulled off anything. It's on the edge of the coin, along with the date. If it is missing then it is a rare error worth a lot!

"In God we trust" is written on the edge. So the lettering will become work away over time, just like the ratbastards at the ACLU whittle away at real American values.
BTW, if you have one of these coins without the edge lettering **KEEP IT**. US Mint "mistake" coins are always quite valuable, and this mistake is significant. -

Not to be contentious over mere quibbles, but Us coins aren't made in a feckin' "factory," they are struck at a "mint." Is this more editorializing from a traitorous scumbag leftard who wants to de-legitimize the US gummint? The USA Today, the paper with the highest circulation in the US, ought to be able to hire "reporters" who have considerably more sense than this. Assholes. I hate that rag.

I was about to get outraged, then I double-checked. My 1976 proof set has "In God We Trust" on the obverse of very coin. Okay,
but--
then I checked the buffalo nickel.
"In God We Trust" appears nowhere, even on the edge. Now I'm not so outraged. There's nothing new here. I guess we'll have to accept this one. -

Snopes says the words are on the edge if that is the case I am not really that upset. But prefer it on the front.
