This error occurred during the printing phase that adds the seal and serial numbers to a bill. Either the bill never went through that part of the process, or it may have been flipped over accidentally. If it was flipped the seal and serial numbers would appear on the back of the bill. Either way it's a significant error that could sell for $100 or more. You'd need to have the bill examined in person by an expert in error currency to get a specific value.
This error is called an "Inverted Overprint" and can retail anywhere from $150 to $400 depending on the bill's condition.
The language on the pyramid seal on the dollar bill is Latin. The phrase "Annuit Coeptis" above the pyramid translates to "He approves our undertakings," while "Novus Ordo Seclorum" below the pyramid means "New Order of the Ages."
The great seal
David Blaine controls the focus of the crowd to pull off his tricks. In the dollar bill trick, he asks the audience for a dollar bill. He proceeds to move the seal on the bill from one side to another. When he gets the dollar bill from the audience, it is discreetly replaced with his "fake" dollar bill with the seals on both sides of the bill. He slowly tugs on the bill, and shows only the part he wants the audience to see, as it looks like the seal is moving along to the other side of the bill.
Simply put: get 2 dollar bills with the same letter seal. Get an eraser or sandpaper and use it to erase the seal off the trick dollar. Cut one seal out of the other bill. Use a scanner or copy machine to copy the seal onto the other dollar (taping the bill to a sheet of paper so it will feed through the copier). then use glue to glue to place the seal you cut off onto the trick bill. then it should rub off the bill and stick to your thumb. the rest is slight of hand a showmanship!
