Why does it say E plurabus unum on every coin?

Question

why does it

Answer 1

IT'S LATIN FOR, "OUT OF MANY,ONE"
E pluribus unum translated from Latin, it means "From many, one" or "Out of many, one" (e = out of, from; pluribus = many; unum = one).
"E Pluribus Unum" was one of the first national mottos of the United States of America.
"E PLURIBUS UNUM" in capital letter spelling, is included on most U.S. currency, with some exceptions to the letter spacing (e.g. the U.S. dime reverse side).
(See US coinage and paper bills in circulation)

E pluribus unum referred to the integration of the 13 independent colonies into one united country, and has taken on an additional meaning, given the pluralistic nature of American society from immigration.
The motto itself has thirteen letters.
The motto was selected by the first Great Seal committee in 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution.
Pierre Eugene DuSimitière originally suggested e pluribus unum as the motto.
When the Continental Congress approved this motto for the Great Seal in 1782, they simultaneously approved two other mottos: Annuit Coeptis (the beginning is approved) and Novus Ordo Seclorum (a new order of the ages), as official national mottos.
Today "In God We Trust" is printed on most U.S. currency. In 1956, e pluribus unum was superseded by "[[In God We Trust]]" as the national motto by United States Code, Title 36, Subtitle I, Part A, Chapter 3, Section 302. All three mottos are imprinted on the One-dollar bill. Some 2007 series coins have moved the mottos to the rim of the coins instead of their most common locations on the front or reverse.


Origin of phrase
The phrase originally came from Moretum[1], a poem attributed to Virgin though the actual author is unknown. Moretum is a type of salad; the poem contains a description of the ingredients being ground in a pestle which includes the phrase, color est e pluribus unus (the color is, from many, one) which refers to the combining of the different colored ingredients combining into a harmonious mixture.

The phrase "Ex pluribus unum" is also found in Saint Augustine's Confessions (397 to 398 AD) book IV, describing friendship.

This motto was well known to literate Americans of the 18th century. It appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine, published monthly in Brixton, London from 1731. The legend "E pluribus unum" was used on the title pages of the annual volumes that contained a collection of the year's twelve editions of the magazine.
According to the U.S. Treasury,U.S. Treasury FAQs "The motto "E Pluribus Unum" was first used on our coinage in 1795, when the reverse of the half-eagle ($5 gold) coin presented the main features of the Great Seal of the United States. “E Pluribus Unum” is inscribed on the Great Seal’s scroll. The motto was added to certain silver coins in 1798, and soon appeared on all of the coins made out of precious metals (gold and silver). In 1834, it was dropped from most of the gold coins to mark the change in the standard fineness of the coins. In 1837, it was dropped from the silver coins, marking the era of the Revised Mint Code. An Act of February 12, 1873 made the inscription a requirement of law upon the coins of the United States.

“E Pluribus Unum” does appear on all coins currently being manufactured. The motto means "Out of Many, One," and probably refers to the unity of the early States. Colonel Reed of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, is said to have been instrumental in having it placed on our coins."

Answer 2

it means one of many and it's on there for two reasons:

each coin is one of many and each state is one of many

some people also think it may mean that you are one of many, that's not for sure though

Answer 3

It is latin for "out of many there is one". Out of all of the states we are one country (the United States).

Answer 4

It's a catch all phrase, a decoration, it don't mean diddly.

Answer 5

"One in many" it's just a slogan.
