Talk:In God We Trust

Currently this article states: "A law signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 replaced the previous motto, e pluribus unum ("Out of one, many"), with this one." But the thing of it is, "In God we trust" didn't actually replace e pluribus unum, particularly on money, as the motto was still included on coins and currency. The U.S. Treasury site says: "An Act of February 12, 1873 made the inscription “E Pluribus Unum” a requirement of law upon the coins of the United States. “E Pluribus Unum” does appear on all coins currently being manufactured." I think this info should be included somehow in the article, but don't want to do it myself because: a) I am not a good editor, and b) I don't know if anyone else agrees that this clarification is important. So if anyone reading this does think it should be included, could you please add it? But if no one else thinks it's important, this talk page comment will be fated to sit here by it's lonesome and be ignored. Or laughed at. :p thanks. Refugeetalk page 02:12, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
