Ooooo, cool. I was right, but for the wrong reasons and I had my dates a little mussed. I knew the paper money thing came up during the McCarthy era, but I wasn't 100% sure on it. I do know that I have some pre-Civil War coins from the 1800s where I didn't see it at all.

And I certainly can't imagine any of the Founding Fathers be at all okay with stamping "God" on money or any other legal tender or civil document. However religious (or not religious) they were, most of those guys were very, very prickly about government getting mixed up anything religious.
