FEATURED WEB SITE

  This week's featured web site is a nice summary of the events
  leading up to the addition of the motto "In God We Trust" to
  United States paper money.  The phrase was added to the
  two-cent piece in 1864.  Numismatist Matt Rothert of
  Arkansas led the effort to extend the motto to U.S. paper
  money.  The site includes images of contemporary newspaper
  articles describing Rothert's campaign, which culminated in
  1955 when the enabling legislation was signed into law by
  President Eisenhower.
