Blame it on Ike.

No, blame it on Abraham Lincoln.
Ike did the Pledge of Allegiance.

Well, I learned something today. I had thought it was Ike as well.

I once visited a ranch in Texas.
The rancher told me he could get in his car, drive all day and he would still be on his own land.
I said yes, I used to have a car like that.

LOL

You've been listening to too many atheists in the Spirituality forum. We blame it on Ike because he's more recent, and we're trying to undermine the idea that "In God We Trust" on money is a long-standing American tradition.

(See how we are?!)

In any case, there's clearly an 'l' missing.

About coins and paper: Suzianne is right.

But don't let the facts get in the way of bashing atheists.

""In God We Trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, which was adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.[1][2] Secularists have expressed objections to its use, and have sought to have the religious reference removed from the currency.[3]

"In God we trust" first appeared on U.S. coins in 1864[4] and has appeared on paper currency since 1957. A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on October 1, 1957 [5]"

In the United States of America the Motto on Currency has sadly devolved to ["In Government We Trust"].
