It's IN GOD WE TRVST not "you" the use of a V instead of a U is normal on all Peace dollars so the answer is yes.

2009 1 dollar us coin have in god you trvst how much?

The motto on 2009 US $1 coins reads "In God WeTrust". The old Latin spelling "Trvst" was used on Peace dollars minted from 1921 to 1935.Any 2009 dollar coin you find in change is made of brass and is only worth $1. Feel free to spend it.


What is value of a 1935 silver dollar lady liberty face and at her neck is in god we trust but the word trust is spelled incorrectly trvst?

it's just an old way to print the u it is correct. Silver dollars were inscribed using the Latin alphabet, which did not have the letters U or J. That was a very common practice by artists in the early part of the 20th century. The same spelling is used on quarters of that era, and many buildings have similar lettering.


Why does a 1923 coin say in god you trvst?

NO coin says "In God You Trvst" Many coins from the 1920s say "In God We Trvst", however.The spelling is definitely NOT a mistake. At that time it was common for artists who designed classically-themed works to use the Roman alphabet instead of the English one. Latin did not have the letter U; V was both a consonant and a vowel, used for both the "vee" and "you" sounds.In fact, there is an old fish display hall near Philadelphia that is still labelled "AQVARIVM"!

1922 silver dollar printed in god we trvst?

$13 if well-worn, $15 if almost uncirculated.Two notes to clear up any confusion:The normal terminology for how coins are made is "struck" or "minted". "Printing" is normally used only to refer to things made with paper and ink such as bills.The word "TRVST" is NOT a misspelling. In the 1920s it was fashionable to use the old Roman alphabet on coins and other objects. In Roman writing, the letter we call "U" was written as "V". Regardless of any myths surrounding it, the spelling is purely stylistic and is NOT an error.
