April 22, 1864 legislation was passed to put the phrase "In God We Trust" on US coins. The first coin to have it is the 1864 2 cent piece. In November 2014 I was fortunate enough to find an 1865 2 cent detecting and is the only one still to this day! Just a fun fact and neat piece of history :)
Here's mine...
