The first United States coin to bear this national motto was the 1864 two-cent piece. It first appeared on U.S. currency on the back of Florida National Bank Notes in 1863. It wasn&#039;t until 1957 that the motto was permanently adopted for use on United States currency.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t say our country was based on In God We Trust.&nbsp; That is a recent urban legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
