April 1864 CE

The phrase "In God We Trust" will first appear, on the 1864 two-cent coin, as a result of the Coinage Act of 1864, a United States federal law passed on April 22, 1864, that changes the composition of the one-cent coin and authorizes the minting of the two-cent coin.

The Director of the United States Mint is directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
