What is in the left foot or the bald eagles foot?
The eagle in the USA Presidential Seal holds in its left claw an olive branch containing 13 olives and 13 leaves, representing the original 13 colonies, to symbolize peace.
Why does the eagle hold the olive branch in its right paw on the dollar bill?
Eagles do not have paws, they have claws. Mammals have paws, except for primates like us, bonobos, chimps, etc. who have hands. Most people are right handed and extend that hand first so the right claw was chosen to show that our primary intent is peace. The arrows are in the left claw to indicate that we have military power that can be used, but (at least in the past) only as a last resort.
How many arrows are does the Bald Eagle hold in its left talon?

How do you know if it is a 1911 'd' 2.50 gold coin or just 1911?
On the reverse of the quarter eagle, the eagle is sitting on a bundle of arrows. To the left of the arrows there will be a "D" which means you have a 1911 D quarter eagle, the key date. If there is no letter "D" to the left of the arrows, you have just a 1911 quarter eagle (occasionally called a 1911-P because it was struck in Philadelphia, however it doesn't have a P mintmark).
Why does the eagle face the right in the dollar bill?
The eagle on the US dollar bill faces to its left because its left talon grasps an olive branch, a symbol of peace. The right talon holds a cluster of arrows, a symbol of war.
What is the eagle holding in its talons on the back of a quarter?
The Eagle's right talons - which are on the left of the viewer - hold an olive branch. The left talons - which are on the right of the viewer - hold 13 arrows (representing the original 13 colonies). The Eagle looks toward the olive branch because peace is preferred, but the arrows represent that the country is prepared to go to war if peace fails.

Do American eagle symbols always fae left and German eagle symbols always face right?
The head on American eagle symbols traditionally face to the right (the viewer's left) to symbolize peace. As on the Presidential Seal, many American eagle symbols show the eagle clutching olive branches (peace) in the right talon and arrows (war) in the left talon. The head always faces the olive branches indicating the desire for peace. Some exceptions are made for rank, such as the US Army Colonel, where a set of eagles are worn on the collars or shoulders and the symbols are always worn with the head facing forward. This would mean one head would be facing left with the other facing right. As far as German eagle symbols, during the Third Reich period, the German eagle head faced the right (viewer's left) representing the Nazi Parteiadler (Party Eagle). Once adopted as the national symbol, the head of the "Reichsadler" (Empire Eagle)was changed to face the left.
