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"!

What is the value of a 1925 Peace dollar with In God you Trvst printed on the back?
To clear things up: > It doesn't say "In God YOU Trvst", it says "In God WE Trvst". > Coins are minted, not printed. > The motto is on the front of the coin, not the back. The motto was written using the Latin alphabet, a common artistic practice in the 1920s so it is NOT a misspelling. Please see the Related Questions for more information.

Why does a 1923 coin say In God We Trvst and what is its value?
The TRVST spelling of the word trust is normal for coins of that time period. That's just the way they did it back then -- using the greek alphabet. It's that way on all Peace Dollars, as well as some other U.S. coins. If you look at the front of a quarter from the 1920's you will see the same TRVST spelling. To give you a value on your specific coin, I will need more information about what you have -- i.e. denomination, date, any mintmark, and condition of wear. That is the national slogan Its on all our money The printing is correct. At the time, a stylized "u" looked like a "v". Read a photocopy of the Constitution and you'll also see "S" is printed as "F". It isn't of any special value, other than as any other 1923 Silver Dollar. All Peace dollars have this same TRVST spelling. You can also find this same spelling on Standing liberty Quarters (1916-1930). TRVST is the normal spelling for all Peace Dollars. 1923 is a common date -- worth about $6 in circulated grades. TRVST is the normal spelling for all Peace Dollars (1921-1935). It was done this way in tradition with the way things were done in this time period. So it's not an error -- just a normal coin from that time. I would need to know the date and condition of the coin to be more specific as to value. It's not misspelled. That was the stylized "u" and was commonly used on just about everything that involved the government. While it's worth more than a dollar, it all depends on the condition. You would need to take it to a coin collector to have it appraised. If it's worn and well used, it's probably not worth much. All Peace Dollars use the TRVST spelling -- you'll also find the same spelling on Standing Liberty quarters (1916-1930). 1923 is one of the most common dates for Peace dollars -- in circulated condition its value is about $7.00 You might try searching the questions already on FAQ Farm.

In God you Trust does not appear on a dollar coin does it have value?
No US coin says "In God YOU Trust". As you can see from your pocket change, they say "In God WE Trust". Without knowing the coin's date it's not possible to say whether the apparently-missing motto is unusual. The motto didn't appear on circulating silver dollars until 1866, and of course 2007 and 2008 Presidential dollars carried the motto on the coins' edge where it can be difficult to see. Please post a new question with the coin's date and what type of dollar it is.
