Is it not blasphemous to have "In God we trust" on money?

I've always had an issue with this. It's one thing to put the phrase in a courtroom, capitol building, or other symbol, but to put it on money feels blasphemous to me. Didn't Jesus drive the money changers out of the temple because they were putting wealth and money in front of God? Isn't that what we are doing by putting the phrase on money, saying that God is somehow tied to wealth and money?

Well the Bible says that the LOVE of money is evil.. Not that money itself is evil..

As for religous statrements on money.. Who are they talking about when they write ""In God we trust"" who are the we?? If it is not a true statement ( and lets face it.. a large number of people who deal with money don't trust God ) Then yeah it is blasphermouse to lie about ones trust in God if one does not actually trust in God..
