17. No, "E Pluribus Unum" was *not* replaced by "In God We Trust"
"In God We Trust" was added as another motto in 1956, and forced onto the currency in a prime case of political grandstanding. The reporter treats it as the only motto, instead of one added in the throes of the Red Scare to deter "atheistic communism."

Look at your USA coinage. It will still have "E Pluribus Unum" inscribed upon it, as required by law.
