Brownback, Byrd Introduce Legislation to Require National Motto to Appear on Face of One Dollar Coin

Contact Brian Hart/Becky Ogilvie, Sam Brownback, United States Senator - Kansas, 202-224-6521

 

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 /Standard Newswire/ -- U.S. Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Robert Byrd (D-WV) yesterday introduced S 2417, legislation which would require the national motto "In God We Trust" to be inscribed on the front of the presidential one dollar coin. 

 

"Since the colonial beginnings of the United States, citizens of this nation have officially acknowledged their dependence on God," said Brownback.  "It is important that our national motto, 'In God We Trust,' is prominently displayed on all of our currency.  We should not relegate our heritage to the side."

 

Brownback earlier this week met with officials from the United States Treasury to discuss moving the national motto from the side of one dollar coins to the face.  Presidential one dollar coins are the only U.S. coins currently being issued by the National Mint that have inscriptions along the edge. 

 

Brownback is a member of the Senate Judiciary and Appropriations Committee.
