What is on the back of a US dollar?

Answer 1

The back of the US dollar bill is very picturesque with multiple symbolic images - please allow me to explain this incredible drawing:

1. There are two circles that represent the Great Seal of the United States

2. Look at the pyramid - the face is lighted and the western side is dark - symbolic of the country was just beginning

3. Inside the capstone, you see that all-seeing eye which was an ancient symbol for divinity

4. "IN GOD WE TRUST" is noted as well as the Latin phrase: ANNUIT COEPTIS (God has favored our undertaking) and the Latin phrase: NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM (a new order has begun)

5. The bald eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons: he is never afraid of a storm and he is smart enough to soar above it; in the eagle's beak you will read: E PLURIBUS UNUM (one nation from many people).

6. Note the shield - there is a white bar above signifying congress

7. Above the eagle is 13 stars representing the 13 original colonies; the eagle is holding in his talons an olive branch (to preserve peace) and an arrow (we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace)

8. Find the number 13: for 13 original colonies, 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on our flag, 13 steps on the Pyramid, 13 letters in Latin above, 13 letters in 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' 13 stars above the eagle, 13 bars ohn the shield, and 13 leaves on the olive branch.
