The motto is not on the newly minted presidential series of coins.

CORRECTIONThe motto appears on ALL US Coins minted since 1938. Some of the new presidential dollars had the motto on the coin's edge but it was moved to the front after conservative religious groups protested.

In fact, the motto didn't appear on any US coins for about 70 years. During the Civil War it was put on the 2¢ coin, and gradually was added to other denominations over the years. The last coin to gain the motto was the Jefferson nickel, introduced in 1938.

Paper money didn't have the motto until 1957. In 1955 Congress mandated that it appear on paper money as well as bills, partly as a Cold War-era statement against the perceived threat of "godless communism". Series 1957 and some 1935-G $1 bills first carried the motto, and other denominations were modified during the early 1960s.
