| Featured Program: | Bill Bierly — How and When “IN GOD WE TRUST” First Appeared on U.S. Coins
Most Americans automatically assume the IN GOD WE TRUST motto always appeared on U.S. coinage. However, it did not start until 1864 and did not come about quickly. The real story on how this occurred was not well documented. This opened the door to much speculation and conjecture. Bill Bierly researched this subject for years and searched government archives, old letters, Civil War posters, and U.S. Mint documents. He assembled a history based on facts and put together a soon to be published book. Join the members at our Annual Banquet to hear this U.S. history story. Those who attend will also see images of beautiful pattern coins, which are coins not approved for release, but created for official design evaluation. |
