Year 1909: When the USA trusted in God
Abraham Lincoln's penny has been around since 1909, when it was inaugurated with several firsts. It was the first U.S. coin to include the words "In God We Trust", and the first to include a portrait.
Today it is hard to believe to those words " In God We Trust" engraved on US money after exploding US state debts. Not secured by trust in God, nor covered by Go(l)d bars.
