The result was   speedy delete. Full text of the article: The United States Mint once stamped "In Gold We Trust" on coins by mistake, instead of "In God We Trust". Of several options, I chose WP:CSD: whether true or false, there isn't enough data here to begin trying to verify this. Could have gone with G3, hoax and vandalism, or A3, subminimal content.

This topic is not notable enough for a stand-alone article. No sources are given. —Diiscool (talk) 13:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per G3. I'd suggest a merge, maybe to United States Mint, but I can't find any reliable sources which suggest this ever actually happened; looks somewhat hoaxy to me. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 13:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreeing with Yunshui -- speedy delete G3 and most assuredly do not merge or redirect to United States Mint. If such a coin had ever existed, it would be well documented in the numismatic community (not to mention the public uproar in some sectors; cf. the "godless dollars").  But there is nothing.  Nor, in fact, is this remotely plausible.  Unlike the godless dollars, where a coin evaded one step in the production process, this would have required the preparation of flawed dies.  It is physically impossible that such could occur accidentally or go unnoticed. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
