<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1974, post: 864176, member: 12193&quot;]Ok to end one part of my research, I have found where the motto was not on the 5 cent piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the article i copied: </p><p><br /></p><p>The use of IN GOD WE TRUST has not been uninterrupted. The motto&nbsp; disappeared from the five-cent coin in&nbsp; 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel&nbsp; began in 1938. Since 1938, all United States coins bear the inscription.&nbsp; Later, the motto was found missing from the new design of the double-eagle gold coin and the eagle gold coin shortly after they appeared in&nbsp; 1907. In response to a general demand, Congress ordered it restored,&nbsp; and the Act of May 18, 1908, made it mandatory on all coins upon which&nbsp; it had previously appeared. IN GOD WE TRUST was not mandatory on the one-cent coin and five-cent&nbsp; coin. It could be placed on them by the Secretary or the Mint&nbsp; Director with the Secretary&#039;s approval.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the link, it is about half way down the page: <a href="http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.shtml</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, </p><p>Stan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
