Oopsy...
I didn't check my sources, but in doing some more reading tonight I found an error in my blog (public rites post). So to prevent the spread of misinformation which I dislike so very much: IGWT was not added to our coinage in 1956.
IGWT first started to appear on coinage in 1864 on the two-cent coin. Over time it spread. IGWT has been partially removed from currency over the years, but has always returned. The "one nation under God" part of the Pledge of Allegiance was signed into effect in 1954.
More on all this later, I'm tired. The FAT post seemed to spark some interest perhaps more on that later too, maybe without pictures... I've had some complaints about the visuals.
