"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 Oct. 1, 1957. Our direct ascendant Reverend Mark Watkinson is credit by historians as being the catalyst for the phrase "In God We Trust" which grew to be printed on all US Currency and is our National Motto.
