Although the presidential seal is based on it, the image on the back of a US $1 bill is actually the Great Seal of the United States.

The front depicts the bald eagle, the national bird, holding both an olive branch (a symbol of peace) and arrows (a symbol of military strength). The eagle faces towards the olive branch, indicating a preference for peace. The 13 stars above the eagle represent the original 13 states.

The back depicts a pyramid with 13 rows, again representing the original 13 states. The pyramid is unfinished, indicating that the US is still a work in progress that will never be complete. The date 1776 is shown at its base in Roman numerals; it's topped by the Eye of Providence, watching over the developing country.

How did david blaine move the seal on the dollar bill?

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.
