Looking at the image, you can see that the first “T” in “TRUST” seems to be missing, rendering a legend that says, “In God We Rust.” If you look real closely, though, you can see a faint outline of the T. In the second image, I have tilted the coin a little differently to the light so you can see the T better.

Degrading Plastic Dolls Many different formulas for plastics are used, just like composition dolls, so disintegration is happening at different rates for different dolls. Plastic dolls can smell bad when they are degrading, or they can get sticky.
