The United States Congress passed the Coinage Act, a federal law that altered the one-cent coin and authorized the mining of the two-cent coin onto which the motto "In God We Trust" first appeared. The following year this practice was expanded as the motto began to be placed on all US coins. The motto eventually was included on paper money 90 years later, right after President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved a joint resolution declaring "In God We Trust" the national motto of the United Staes.
