On this day in history in 1864, Congress passed an act authorizing the use of the motto "In God We Trust"on American coins. This decision came during the Civil War when many citizens and leaders felt a stronger need to acknowledge divine guidance. In 1956, "In God We Trust" was declared the official motto of the United States.
