It's not 60 years though, it has been on coins since the 1800s.

From Wikipedia:

"An Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865, allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon."[9][11] In 1873, Congress passed the Coinage Act, granting that the Secretary of the Treasury "may cause the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to be inscribed on such coins as shall admit of such motto."

It was official, it was officially on legal coinage since 1859 or so.

That's correct. It was added to paper money 60 years ago, but had been on our coins since 1869 or so.
