Hello to all. Well, I was wondering why the words "in God we trust" and "Liberty do not appear on the older coins like IHP's and other stuff. Do any of you guys have an explanation?
In God we trust and liberty.

On modern currency and coins, "In God we trust" isn't so much a slogan as a disclaimer.

Liberty is also on the Liberty Head Nickel. In god We Trust didn't appear on coins until 1864 when it was placed on the Two Cent Piece.

I've been curious about which coins have it and when they were put on it too. 
Here are some more older coins that have it (a couple of them I find out today
