Regarding IN GOD WE TRUST please note that this may simply be a nickname for UST i.e. the US Treasury as IGWT is on all coins and UST makes them.
Would suggest decode of UST putting an end to something (period signifies the end).
Sorry to self-fluff but at least I can blame the check… The extra period could also mean period as in era - signaling the start of a new economic era - sound money controlled by UST.
