The US Mint
The US Mint is one of the most highly regarded and reputed mints in the world, with a profound history of over 225 years. The $20 Saint Gaudens Gold coin, also known as the Double Eagle, has played a significant role in contributing to the mint’s glory. The motto, “IN GOD WE TRUST,” was not included in this issue as President Theodore Roosevelt felt that the word, ‘God’ on a coin that can be used for ill practices is inappropriate. However, after consistent protest from citizens and Congress, after one year (1908), the motto was included in the design.
