THE SYMBOLS OF THE DOLLAR
THE PIRAMID
This is one of the most striking symbols and represents strength and duration. Some interpret the missing top as a sign that the country’s construction is not yet over, according to Reader’s Digest.
THE EYE IN THE PYRAMID
When Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams met to design the stamp for the bill, they did not suggest the pyramid, but they did ask for an eye.
They wanted the seal to have a symbol of divine providence, and the all-seeing eye inside a pyramid is an ancient symbol of divinity.
ROMAN NUMERALS
On the lower bricks of the pyramid are the letters “MDCCLXXVI”, which are the Roman numerals from 1776, the year that United States declared its independence.
THE SHIELD

Under the pyramid you can read the legend “Novo Ordo Seclorum” (“New Order of the Centuries”), one of the best-known slogans within the Mason group of the Illuminati (a secret society that has been accused of promoting events like the French Revolution and Other Alleged Claims of World Dominance), but which could also suggest that the creators of the seal pretended that the US foundation it supposed the definitive utopian change yearned for by the initiated through the centuries.
At the top of the pyramid, meanwhile, you can read the legend “Annuit Coeptus”, which means “He favors (or helps) what has started” (or “Our company is successful”) and that could well express the American belief that the birth of the United States has divine inspiration.
