A lady in Monte Vista, CO had this dollar bill. This is her story. After dinner she took a $1 dollar bill out of her purse and displayed it on the table. Underneath the words "In God We Trust" someone had stamped the dollar bill in red ink--- NO GOD BUT ALLAH. We asked her where she got this dollar bill. She said it was part of her change in Alamosa , CO .

We took this picture of her dollar bill. These are beginning to show up all around our country! If anyone tries to give you one of these dollar bills as change, please refuse it and ask them to give you a dollar bill that has not been defaced.

Send this on to everyone you can. May God bless our USA --- And quickly, before what we know and love is forever gone!

Claim: U.S. $1 bills are being circulated with the words "NO GOD BUT ALLAH" stamped on them.

Origins: Writing on, drawing on, stamping, or otherwise marking or altering currency is an ages-old practice which people have engaged in for a wide variety of reasons: to (illegally) change a bill's value, as a form of artistic expression or fandom, as an outlet for humor, as a means of tracking a given bill's circulation, or as a venue for spreading political and social (protest) messages.

A putative example from the latter category began circulating on the Internet beginning in June 2011, featuring a photograph of the reverse of a U.S. $1 bill on which the words "NO GOD BUT ALLAH" had been stamped in red ink underneath the U.S. motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." The accompanying text claimed that an unnamed woman in Colorado had received the marked bill in change and exhorted readers to refuse to accept similarly marked bills.

Even if the backstory about the pictured bill is accurate, it doesn't appear to be evidence of any concerted or widespread movement to spread some form of anti-U.S., pro-Islam, or anti-Christian message via the marking of currency. In the two years since the original appearance of this item we haven't encountered a single other report of anyone's finding similar bills in circulation; just the continual republishing of the original photograph and the accompanying message about its anonymous recipient.

The first ever coin to record the famous Islamic phrase 'There is no God but Allah' is set to sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds when it goes under the hammer. The historic gold dinar from 690 AD was minted in Damascus by the Umayyad dynasty - the first Arab empire, which stretched from Spain in the west to India in the east at the peak of its power.
