Printing, "In God We Trust" on a federal reserve note could very well be a textbook example of taking the Lord's name in vain! The ramifications of this concept are incredibly damaging to those who advocate placing the sacred name of the Lord upon fake currency.
The merits of placing references to deity on currency is another debate. What should not be debatable to any of the three Abrahamic religions, is placing the name of God on something that is worthless, has no value, represents debt, usury, and facilitates war. The only type of currency that the phrase "In God We Trust" could be placed upon without taking the Holy name of the Lord in vain, is gold or silver coinage.
If you want to hack at the leaves instead of the trunk to chop down a tree you can. Gold and silver are elements that exist in nature. Paper money does not exist in nature, it must be manufactured.

so he made gold and silver but didn't make minerals in the soil that are absorbed by the trees that are cut down to make paper money???

The reference is to the gold and silver from which coins are made. Of course the Lord did not make the coins.
