Why does "In God We Trust" only appear on one side of our currency?

[Jedediah]

This is a Christian nation. Shouldn't we declare our trust in the LORD on both sides of our money? I'm concerned that insufficient grovelling may cause the LORD to remove His favor from us.

Revelation 3:15-16
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

We bought Mr. Etheldreda a coin hole-punch for Christmas last year. He uses it all the time in hopes that those who don't see the small print will know in whom the glory belongs.

Erm... I'm pretty sure that would make the coin unusable.

At any rate, "In God We Trust" wasn't even on any of our currency until the '50s. It was the height of the Red Scare, and we all wanted to show how better we were than them godless Commies.

. . . and I believe that has been succesfully demonstrated, given that nearly all of the godless Commie regimes have collapsed under the weight of their slow-moving, centralized economies.

His money has never been refused. I think it just goes to show people long for Christ.

Unusable at God hating leftist establishments, but at my Christian Art kiosk at the RV park I honor his coins at double their secular value for small purchases. No change given of course as that would put more liberal coins in his pocket.

Original prints of Jesus After Haircut are still available at discount prices.

Those of us who are not artists are greatful you keep the white Jesus in front of the public.

So many other races present a fake Jesus made to look dark skinned.

For an added fee, my bank allows customers to have whatever custom image they want put on their ATM/Visa card, so I had them put this one on mine. I like the fact that every time I hand a cashier my credit card, I'm reminding them that those of us who are obedient to the Lord may at any time be called upon to slay those who aren't.

Oh I like that, Brother Machine!

I admit, sometimes I "accidentally" drop my checks in public places where I know it will get picked up and, with God's blessing, bring another soul to Christ.

The problem is that the front side of the bill explains that it is a "Federal Reserve Note." While we trust God, God doesn't trust the Federal Reserve. Until we modernize our economy by going back on the gold standard, as the great President Reagan suggested, and thus preventing the Obama socialism that caused the current recession, I don't think God wants to be associated with the Federal Reserve.

I think one side of a coin should say "In God We Trust" and the other side should say "In Jesus We Trust" and then "In The Holy Spirit We Trust" should be etched around the edge.

There will surely be stars in your crown in Heaven, sister. My road to Redemption began when I picked up a Chick Tract out of the gutter at 2:34 PM on October 16, 1998. I will never forget. I do my part as well, leaving these instead of secular money for a tip whenever I dine out.

I'd say eternal salvation is certainly worth more than 15% of a $20 dinner bill!

I think that's the point Brother – ever since FDR confiscated all the gold there is nothing backing our currency except God, which is why "In God We Trust" was put on in the first place. Everyone remembers the hyperinflation in the German Weimar Republic, and if our faith in the dollar collapsed without Jesus we would have the same thing happen here.

Well, I don't wanna be rude but isn't that a little overdone? I think "In God We Trust" is enough on just one side of a dollar! Who pays attention to that stuff anyway? And besides, not everyone in America is Christian. It might make them slightly uncomfortable if "In God We Trust" was ALL over their money, lol!
