Ever seen a two-cent piece? I honestly didn’t know there was such a thing. On this date in 1864, the first two cent piece was released with the motto “In God We Trust.” This motto was new, and it was part of the U.S. Coinage Act. But did you know that this motto was not the only one proposed? Try “Our Trust is in God,” “God Our Trust,” and “God and Our Country.”
