In 1861, the idea was suggested to President Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase to add some "indication of God's favor" on our coinage, but it would be almost a century before it appeared on America's currency. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill making "In God We Trust" the nation's official motto and the Series 1935 G Silver Certificate, printed in 1957, was the very first U.S. paper money to bear the motto. Now, this coveted currency FIRST is paired with a desirable LAST – the Series 1935 A Silver Certificate, the last bill of the series without the "In God We Trust" motto, in The 1935 Motto/No Motto $1 Bill Type Currency Set, available in an exclusive presentation from The Bradford Exchange Mint.These coveted $1 Bills, each over a half-century old, are Silver Certificates -discontinued currency that was once redeemable at any bank for Silver Dollars. Both bills in The Motto/No Motto $1 Bill Type Currency Set arrive in clear sleeves that let you view both sides' intricate designs while protecting them for years to come. A handsome, mahogany-finished Deluxe Display Box stores and showcases your $1 Bills and includes a convenient drawer perfect for storing the included custom booklet detailing the history of the motto, "In God We Trust".
