| Description |
What does the coin say? Y? In God we trust. -or- In God we trust. Y? Here are some factoids, all directly from the U.S. Treasury <a href="http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-...</a> 1. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. 2. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin. 3, The use of IN GOD WE TRUST has not been uninterrupted. The motto disappeared from the five-cent coin in 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel began in 1938. Since 1938, all United States coins bear the inscription. 4. The motto has been in continuous use on the one-cent coin since 1909, and on the ten-cent coin since 1916. It also has appeared on all gold coins and silver dollar coins, half-dollar coins, and quarter-dollar coins struck since July 1, 1908. 5. A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. |
