The phase "E Pluribus Unum" appears on currency in the United States and is meant to represent the history of the country as a nation of immigrants. The phrase translates as "out of many, one" referring to the fact that so many different nationalities and ethnic groups make up our nation. Remember: the official motto of the United States- created by a law in 1956- is "In God We Trust."

E Pluribus Unum is Latin for "out of many, one." Sometimes it is translated more loosely as "one from many." E Pluribus Unum refers to the fact that the United States was formed as a cohesive single nation as the result ofthe thirteen smaller colonies. The motto E Pluribus Unum was first proposed by the U.S. Continental Congress in 1782, for use on the Great Seal of the United States.
