Which was the most recent circulating 20th century US coin series that
didn't include "In God We Trust" as part of its design? If you can answer
this without checking a book or coin, you're smarter than me, when it comes
to this particular question.

Define 'recent'. The Indian Head cent did not, and yes, I checked
coinfacts.com to
find it out. Neither did the Liberty Head nickel nor the Barber dime,
but I would think
it more likely to find a IH cent than the other two in circulation
today.

For series belonging entirely to the 20th C., it would be the Buffalo
nickel.

The Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel was the coin series I had in mind. It
surprised me that we had a coin series up until 1938 that didn't incorporate
IGWT. Like Les, my initial guesses would have centered around some of the
coins that overlapped the 19th and 20th centuries, e.g. the Indian Cent,
Liberty Nickel, and Barber Dime. I even cheated a bit there and had to
look.

OK, name four regular U.S. series that did not feature the word "LIBERTY."

flying eagle cents, 2 cent pieces, silver 3 cent pieces, and shield
nickels. How did I do without looking?

'Presidential' $1s also do not include the word 'LIBERTY'.

I thought it was announced that the Statue of Liberty on the reverse took
care of that.

Indeed it was, but the text of my question specifically called for the word
"LIBERTY" to be absent, and thus Koerner's response is a correct one.
