The motto "In God YOU Trust" has never been on a coin or bill. As you can see from your pocket change, it reads "In God WE Trust". The motto was added to silver dollars in 1866, two years after its introduction on the 2¢ piece. It was added to $1 bills in 1957. It was added to other denominations at many different times over the years.
The motto was added to silver dollars in 1866, two years after its introduction on the 2¢ piece.
The motto was first used on 2¢ pieces in 1864. However it was not put on the 1¢ coin until 1909 when the current Lincoln obverse was introduced.
The motto was added to $5 bills beginning with the 1963 series. It had been added to $1 bills in 1957. Congress passed a law in 1955, at the height (or depth, depending on your views) of Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union, mandating the phrase on US paper currency. It was seen as a way of distinguishing the US from the "godless communists" who at that time threatened western democracies. The motto first appeared on 2¢ coins in 1864 (during the Civil War) and was gradually added to all denominations after that time. However, it was never put on paper money until the 1955 law was written.
The motto reads "In God We Trust". It should be noted that the motto was added to coinage and currency during troubled times when people needed to reinforce the belief that the God of the Bible is on our side.The phrase was added to currency during the same decade "One Nation Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance as a similar response to "godless communism".CoinsThe motto was first put on 2¢ pieces in 1864, during the Civil War, as an expression of faith in terrible times. It was gradually added to other denominations of coins over the years; the last denomination to get the motto was the nickel starting in 1938.BillsMany people are surprised to find older paper money without the motto, but in fact its use wasn't extended to bills until about a half-century ago. In response to the perceived threat of "godless communism" during the Cold War, in 1955 Congress ordered that the motto also be placed on paper money. The first bills to carry it were $1 silver certificates printed during and after 1957. These included a new 1957-dated series and some 1935-G and all 1935-H bills that were printed at the same time. By 1963 all other denominations had been redesigned to include the motto as well.Rumors of RemovalRumors persist among right-wing and fundamentalist religious groups that there is a "conspiracy" to remove the motto from American money. Those rumors were made worse when a few 2007-dated Presidential dollars were accidentally minted without the motto when mint employees forgot to add edge lettering to several batches of the new coins. Despite the fact that the mistake also deleted the coins' date, mint mark, and the motto "E Pluribus Unum" as well as "In God We Trust", the error was seized on as another example of a clandestine attempt to secularize American currency. In reality the presence of the motto is not an issue for the vast majority of Americans, and there are NO plans whatsoever to change it.
in god we trust.
"In God We Trust" was the motto of the United States starting in 1956. It was first put on the money in 1957.
To put money before God is when you put your trust and love in money and the things of this world and not in the eternal loving God. God will forgive you of this but as with any sin you must be sincere and make a conscious effort to get your priorities right and always have God first in everything.
The motto was not put on $5 bills until 1963 so no 1950-dated bills will carry it.Also no US bill or coin says "In God YOU Trust". As you can see by checking the money in your pocket the motto is always "In God WE Trust"
The motto was last placed on the nickel in 1938 when FDR was president.It was put on paper money beginning in 1957 with $1 bills but didn't appear on all other denominations until the Johnson Administration.To clear things up:> The motto is In God We Trust, as can be seen on any coin or bill.> "Currency" (note the spelling) usually refers to paper money which is printed rather than minted.
