[Non-Sequitur]

'In God We Trust' first appeared on currency in 1864 when it was inscribed on the 2 cent coin. In March 1865 Congress mandated that it be included on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." With one or two exception it had been on all coins since then.

The 'separation of church and state' quote comes from an 1802 letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Convention, "...I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should `make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State."
