Paper money in the US used to be gold and silver certificates issued by the US Treasury & they were backed by gold and silver; now what we have in circulation today are Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) & these "US dollars" are basically loaned into existence (and no longer backed by gold & silver). This transition took place around the middle of the 20th century. This might make one wonder - what's money in the US backed by today? Is it backed by nothing?

Well, let's take a look at when this unconstitutional mandate (it infringes on the first clause of the 1st Amendment) by the US government to put "In God We Trust" on money took place; it was also replaced around the same time that the official motto (E Pluribus Unum) was replaced with it, and they both also happen to be around the same time money was switched from gold & silver backed paper money to FRNs - the middle of the 20th century.

I'd say that based on this, money essentially went from being backed by gold and silver to being backed by religion - in other words, money is now backed by nothing.

As far as the thread question goes, I'm not sure what it ought to be replaced with on money, or even if it's necessary to replace it on money, since nothing backing FRNs seem to compliment each other.

Regarding the official motto, I basically don't recognize it as the official US motto. To me it is, and always will be, E Pluribus Unum.

I don't want E Pluribus Unum to be put on FRNs, though; if anything, I would consider it offensive and hostile to be using it on something loaned into existence & backed by nothing. In other words, I don't consider E Pluribus Unum to be nothing.

BTW, did you know that "In God We Trust" is from the Islamic Koran and it's not in the Christian Bible? I would imagine that Christian's heads would explode once they find this out. LOL
