Roosevelt on God We Trust motto on coins a matter of law and reverence
The piece cites a December Scribner's article with Roosevelt's 1907 letter to a clergyman stating there is no legal warrant to place In God We Trust on coins. He opposed inscribing it on currency, warning against irreverence and cheapening the motto while endorsing its display on monuments and halls to inspire noble sentiment. It notes Kipling correspondence and Roosevelt’s Lincoln admiration.
