It was no mistake something potentially worthless would have words like "In God We Trust" printed on it. That little ditty would have been removed long before school prayer if it didn't up hold the illusion of substance. Words like "Federal" and "legal" also lend it that air of legitimacy. You've got to hand it to them though! I've always felt it amusing people were so worried that the president had his finger on the atomic bomb button, totally oblivious that much fewer men have their hand on a much more lethal instrument.
