Didn't you ever wonder how the Federal Reserve can just print all the greenbacks it wants, yet the money's still 'good?' Clearly it's a miracle! And the reason God uses his power to make our money good is because we remember Him on our bills and coins.
Do you want your atheist pet cause of removing His name from our money to destroy our economy?

So... god's magic protects out economy... just like intelligent falling replaces gravity? Ok!

No one obeys God because his name is on Americian currency. Jesus said obediance is better than sacrifice.
What good is it to print things you do not reverence? There will come a time when money will be just as good as toilet paper.
God does not waste his time to make our money good. Man made the dollar bill. If the words 'In God we Trust' is removed are stayed on it,does it matter to God? No!
Greenbacks as you call it is destroyed daily by the federal reserve.Shreded because of the old worn bills.
Man uses his power to make the money good due to his greed. Because he does not remember God, he thinks he did it all by himself.
So what if the name of God is removed from the bills? Money may change but the word of God remains the same. So he said it so his will be done.
So when one looks at a bill of Americian currency and think the Word God we trust is impressive,think again. God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and all the creation is his. And the things made out of money are his. Psalm 50.
God laughs...men can be funny!

Money is man made, it is only good because we put our trust in it and each other to have the same trust. Money is a more efficient way of bartering goods and services than trading chickens for something we place a value on.
I would reason that keeping "In God We Trust" on our currency is best kept as a quaint tradition. But even more, God can mean so much more. To me, there is no supernatural entity that has a form that humanity is derived from. We are all made of energy that has congealed into everything that occupies space and has a gravitational attraction. We are made of the same energy, all of us. To me, that is God, the collective energy of the universe.

For your information, these three little words were not on the USA currency before 1950. Back in the good old days, the American dollar could buy a lot of things. A few years back, I could get $1.50 Canadian for every US dollar. Now they are about even. They should really change the words to: "In God we trust this dollar can still buy something." The last time I tried to buy a bottle of soda from a vending machine, it was $1.69.

"every dollar that is printed matches a gold standard."
"a piece of paper that symbolizes the worth of gold"
Not too far behind the times, are we? The dollar has not been tied to gold since Bretton-Woods Agreement was abandoned and "the U.S. took away the government backing of the dollar with an actual gold supply (known as leaving the gold standard) in 1971, and every major international currency has followed suit".
Check your currency. Do you see any reference to gold, silver, or any other commodity?

I seriously doubt putting four little words on a piece of paper that symbolizes the worth of gold makes the economy work and the world revolve everyday for you. If you had one iota of sense you wouldn't post such an answer to such a controversial and discussion worthy question

I was refrencing the olde times when we did attach money to gold, hence why I said symbolizes...

Wow.
That was a whole lot of nonsense. Well then how did the ancient men exchange currency? Is it because they had In God we trust on their currency to? And what about other countrys currency. Does Japan have in god we trust on their Yen?

So the reason our currency is losing value like crazy right now is because we've offended God? Or was it just the Federal Reserve that offended God? Maybe it was Greenspan? Let's crucify him!

Well that's pretty farfetched
I'm not bothered by "In God We Trust" the majority of people are Chrisitians in the USA. I have more important things to worry about than some coin or greenback.
Now what do you say to the many that say that money is the root of all evil?

Putting "In God We Trust" on the American dollar in the 1950's gave this nation the strength to combat the Red menace both abroad and in Hollywood.

No... If they printed all the bills they wanted a little something called "inflation" would occur. And that would be bad. God is not protecting our money. That's got to be the most insane Christian idea I've heard today.
