because it was a typo of “in gold we trust”; and because there isnt enough gold in the world anymore to equal the amount of money we are brainwashed into believing exists.
Most people think that plastic= $ which stands for numbers on a computer which people think stands for $ in paper form. And they think the paper is equal to gold

Not everyone in America worships God. It’s like moving to a country that is free to worship whoever you want, and then the coin that you may very well see many times in your life has a saying on it that is directed toward a different god— since America is so diverse, he probably took it off to show that America doesn’t support one type of religion (christianity).
