Do you know why American money is so successful?
Because it has written on it, “In G‑d We Trust.”
Not just “Believe.” “Trust.”
Furthermore, the money even tells you its purpose:
Upon it is written, “E Pluribus Unum.”
The purpose of all your money dealings is to bring unity to the plurality of this universe.
And if that is truly your purpose, then you will rely on the One Creator to provide your needs.
The script should add "others pay cash" !
As an economist I am very aware that without trust, the money that we use would not be able to provide a practical means for trading. So the "trust in G-d" on the coins and bank-notes, implies that He too can deal in our currency, in exchange for something useful to us. This implication is doubtful, to say the least.
I am opposed to the mixing of business deals with our religion, although without the use of money such a deal does make good sense (see our prayer "The Shema" etc.).

I don't really agree because G-D doesn't want His Name to be used in vanity. According to me it's an abomination to use the names of G-D inscribed on money...any money indifferently Reply
Powerful!!!! As Usual We should share this with everyone who manages a home, a family, a business, and who leads (we all do) in any way. Money can be a weapon, a shield, a knife, or the glue that binds us! Reply
Interesting! This is a really interesting point that I've never thought about before! Thank you so much for posting! Reply

American money :( I'm afraid their money printing is outdated, they took Him out of their schools, they've taken Him out of the courts (10 commandments), they allow things to go on that is against G-d's Holy word & I'm saddened for our friend and neighbour as it is pretty much impossible to recover economically from the debt situation that they are in. I hope that they will trust in G-d as it is greed that has gotten them in the situation that they are in :( Terrible greed of a handful of men in wall street has helped to bring about this terrible situation and other things not just that. We need to change, to be the change that shows others G-d has a better way. Reply
american money American money may have G-d written on the currency but the country has strayed from what is behind the meaning. Frankly, I think it is demeaning to our Creator to have his name on bills that people snort cocaine and buy unspeakable things with. This is not worshiping our Creator the right way. Reply
This proposed is well in keeping with our faith, and it should influence how we do business on earth with a different kind of trust. Reply
the Dollar
the US Dollar is and it value is a figure of our imaginationctly. better believe in G-d because the dollar will soon be useless.
Luckily the ones who hijacked the currency have imbedded the dollar into all aspects on the planet. if the dollar collapses, so does the rest of ALL major currencies so in a sense we will all be created equal and free to choose our own destiny. the Dollar has been an illusion of our strength that the rest of the world has sought after and fantisized about but the reality is like looking at a work of art like an appraiser and establishing a value. there are million dollar paintings that i would not personally even want to own but others who do. the US Dollar has been no different. it is an illusion of worth and being the US Dollar IS and has been considered the World Currency we will all be dissapointed in the end.
better to put your faith in G-d than in money which will be very hard for some people when this illusion catches up with thier values GOOD LUCK

United States of America is Great!
United States of America is great. In the shape of the United States of America, God chooses His deputy on earth to run the affairs of the world.
I pray that may the United States of America continue to prosper and flourish forever. If there is United States of America, there is chance of peace and harmony in the world.

American money
Lovely sentiments and one I thoroughly understand, but what's to be said about the current state of American money? Does the dying US dollars represent the death of the US as a G-d centric country? Is this an indication of the collapse of materialism as a sign of Messianic redemption?Moshiach will only comes when" the pockets are empty".
There is no denying that the USA of today is a far cry from what was a great, G-d fearing land.

So why is America not powerful anymore if it still has the same scriptures?
why are EU and other nations' money more powerful today, yet do not have the name of G-d in there?

We have built a world that glorifies money.
We elevate money above everything. Money means power. Power means control. Money honours a person with power, control and respect. Money serves the needs of our ego. The ego is the engine that drives humanity. In the 21st Century the ego becomes a destructive power as it devours each other and nature.
Money divides humanity into those with power and without.
What can bring 'unity to the plurality' of our universe?
What has greater power than money?
- the power of Love that is the power of G_dliness - the desire to connect between us in order to cooperate, share our resources, our ingenuity, to work as one harmonious body.
This unified mindset will draw G_d's power between us. Then we can trust that He will provide for all our essential needs, while humanity reaches a new lifestyle, a new, higher focus that gives a new meaning to our lives. We will experience a new level of existence.
Love is the power that will bring humanity together!
