Sentence: When Jane got home she first noticed that Dick was cooking something putrid. Upon further look, instead she found him smelting all her jewellery and valuables. His ingotwetrust activities however were a waste, as she had long ago copied her jewellery and placed the real McCoys in a bank vault. Dick's cooking smelled more like melting plastic...a recipe for asphyxiation!
Etymology: Ingot (gold bullion in a size convenient for handling) & Wordplay on motto "In God We Trust" (placed on US currency)
