Overall: Szmenderowiecki , hooks are great, I personally prefer ALT1. And what do you think of this one? It would be mix of hook 1 and 2 and is below the 200 characters without bold and wls. ... that "In God We Trust" appeared as a motto the first time in 1748 in Pennsylvania, is displayed on coins of the United States since 1864 and as of 1955 the motto must appear on all U.S. currency?

"As of" sounds as if it were a requirement in 1955 but now we aren't sure whether it's still a requirement 65 years later (it is still law).

My version: ALT1+2: ...that "In God We Trust" appeared as a motto the first time in 1748 in Pennsylvania, that it was first struck on U.S. currency on a 2¢ piece in 1864 and that since 1955, the motto must appear on all U.S. currency? (192 characters)

I prefer ALT3, but ALT1 and ALT2 are also good. Good to go.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 16:10, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
