it is a matter of trying to force any form of Christianity or religion out of the government, the next thing you will see is them trying to impeach a president because of his or her religious beliefs.

The money has the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" printed on it.  When you pick up money off the ground you're receiving a reward from God.  God is providing for you.

History of 'In God We Trust'\nThe motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861. It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, and read:\n\nDear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances. \nOne fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.\n\nYou are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.\n\nThis would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters.\n\nTo you first I address a subject that must be agitated.\n\nAs a result, Secretary Chase instructed James Pollock, Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, to prepare a motto, in a letter dated November 20, 1861: \nDear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins. \nYou will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.\n\nIt was found that the Act of Congress dated January 18, 1837, prescribed the mottoes and devices that should be placed upon the coins of the United States. This meant that the mint could make no changes without the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress. In December 1863, the Director of the Mint submitted designs for new one-cent coin, two-cent coin, and three-cent coin to Secretary Chase for approval. He proposed that upon the designs either OUR COUNTRY; OUR GOD or GOD, OUR TRUST should appear as a motto on the coins. In a letter to the Mint Director on December 9, 1863, Secretary Chase stated: \nI approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse the motto should begin with the word OUR, so as to read OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY. And on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: IN GOD WE TRUST. \nThe Congress passed the Act of April 22, 1864. This legislation changed the composition of the one-cent coin and authorized the minting of the two-cent coin. The Mint Director was directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.\n\nAnother Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865. It allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." Under the Act, the motto was placed on the gold double-eagle coin, the gold eagle coin, and the gold half-eagle coin. It was also placed on the silver dollar coin, the half-dollar coin and the quarter-dollar coin, and on the nickel three-cent coin beginning in 1866. Later, Congress

Simple : A fake dollar will not have the face on the right , some you can't see the face but their still real . There 's a someting a policeman told me when someone gave me a fake bill he said put the money up to a light and if it has a USA five or one or just what ever bill you got ! if is has that USA black written line going through the bill on any side it's real. That is one thing people can't copy! And some people don't even notice that.

Yes, there is or at least will be. On our American dollar bill it says, "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which means "New World Order". That's proof enough for me.

Christians always pay thier bills before they borrow money from someone. But since it's for school so that can help you get a job and pay your bills it's a little different. Good question to consider though. Good luck.

Honestly, I think the presidents who were seen as most important or most influential were used for the different bills.  Plus Benjamin Franklin on the $100 (he was never a president).  As far as who goes on which bill, I think the more important/influential presidents were put on the more commonly used bills.  Hence, Washington is on the $1, which is used quite often, while Grant is on the $50, which was not as common when our modern monetary system was established.

1) <Know it all> The Quote "In God We Trust" IS actually a metaphor for our currency, if means that we don't really get paid in anything worth of value except a paper with a scripple, basically an I.O.U, and it says that because as long as the Americans beleive in currency there will not be any problems with the economy- Completely irrelevant to this situation though\n\n I think America will fall eventually, and it can't be surely predicted because many things could be a factor to this. There is no true answer except opinions. Yes I do beleive America will eventually fall or at the least will crumble down to a smaller country but i doubt anytime soon. And the reason that America seems to reject God or God-like figures is because many people find it offensive to mix Religion with Government. And i suppose they have a point seeing as many people came to America to be freed from strict laws and religious beleifs in other countries. You must understand that America is a very diverse place and I really do hope that America does not fall because it , aside from any corruption and greed, is one of the greatest and most free countries, NO i'm not being patriotic, but you must understand that many rights are available here than in other countries, and even though America might seem evil and vile to many people, i'd rather live in a democratic fucked up countr rather than a communist one where our freedom is limited.....so yeah good question

There are very few people who depend on faith or "God."\n\nThe primary God most people worship is the US dollar. \n\nIf people who claim to have faith actually believed what they so poorly try to preach, they would not be using electricity or any other modern invention. They would be living under trees relying on faith and God to take care of them.
