It's IN GOD WE Trust, not you trust and the year was 1956.

Although it wasn't yet officially our motto, we started adding it to our coins starting in 1864 with the 2 cent coin.

It was first used on U.S. coins in 1864, during the Civil War. It did not become an official motto of the U.S. until 1956.

In 2006 it became Florida's Official State Motto as well.
