483148
The seal which portrays an unfinished pyramid. The separated cap of the pyramid, portraying the all-seeing eye, symbolizes that the United States is still far from finished. The Latin phrase Annuit Cœptis (He [God] has favored our undertaking) is located above the pyramid.

Many possible answers.  You have a dollar bill, a dollar coin, and two non-American coins.

1862: The first $1 bill was issued as a Legal Tender Note (United States Note) with a portrait of Salmon P. Chase, the Treasury Secretary under President Lincoln.\n\nThe first U.S. President George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse, while the Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse. The one dollar bill has the oldest design of all U.S. currency currently being produced. The obverse debuted in 1963 when the $1 bill first became a Federal Reserve Note and the reverse debuted in 1935.

"In God We Trust" was not placed on the bill until 1957. However, it was originally made the national motto of the United States in 1863 at the suggestion of Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, who himself had supposedly been prompted to do so by a protestant minister concerned with the waning of religious fervor in the American public. This man purportedly wanted to ensure that the US would always be officially grounded in faith in divine Providence, and thus this motto was put on all American coins ever since, although it did not appear on paper currency until much later. But "In God We Trust" is indeed a Masonic motto – one used in almost all Masonic rituals, in which the participants must pledge to always put their "trust in God" during the ceremonies – and this specific phrase can be found in Masonic dictionaries. Its appearance on the dollar bill in the 1950s may have been meant to bolster a currency increasingly dependent on faith due to changes in American monetary policy.\n\nRoosevelt  had laws passed forcing US citizens to give all of the gold and silver that they owned to the government.\nNixon in 1971, closed the "gold window", announcing that the holdings of foreign central banks would no longer be redeemed for gold by the US government. \nThis was the final step in abandoning the gold standard. Now the value of the dollar floats freely in relation to foreign currencies, with no fixed standard of value. \nSo the dollar that we now use is one backed entirely by faith alone – the public's faith in America's economy, and America itself.

Loon.  That's why their dollar coins are called "loonies", because the loon is pictured on them.

That's an older bill--probably Series 1963 or earlier.  Red labelings were quite common at that time.  Check with currency magazines to see if your bill has additional collectors value.

Depends on how far down the rabbit hole you are willing to go?\n\nYes, on the surface the symbology is the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States as passed by Congress in 1782. The symbol of the all seeing eye, the illumination and symbol of many secret societies dating back to the Egyptians.\n\nThen there is what it meant to the Egyptians- a symbol of power- the eye of Amen-Ra (Amen, the God you unknowingly call several times in Christian ceremonies...)\n\nDo you really want to dig any deeper? Let's stop there for the moment.

the eye is the all seeing eye of God, Pyramid reflects the fascination with rosicrucianism at the time.Novus ordo seclorum means the "new world order." There are also symbols of Israel united with the 13 colonies \n\nthe cloud above the eagle represents the shekina cloud of glory over Israel. and the star inside the cloud is the star of david with 12 stars to represent the 12 tribes of Israel..Toward the end of the american revolution, Geroge Washington obtained financial help from Jews both in the united States and in europe to finsh the war.  They were critical in help the colonies win and establish the nation. They are given this recognition on the emblem. This country then owes its existence to the nation of Israel and today we still protect ISrael in return.  There is a historical bond between america and the jewish nation in the quest for freedom adn peace.

Coins such as nickels, pennies, dimes, and quarters are easy to tell apart. They all are different sizes, and quarters and dimes have ridges around them, while pennies and nickels are smooth. There are many ways that paper money—like one, five, ten, or twenty dollar bills—can be identified. Some blind people like to keep different bills in separate places in their wallets, especially if it is a larger bill that they perhaps do not often carry with them. The most common way to tell paper money apart is to fold the bills in different ways. Each person will have his or her own way of folding them; there is no standard for everyone. Maybe a five dollar bill is folded in half the long way, and a ten dollar bill is folded in half the short way. Or maybe the ten is folded twice. A one dollar bill might be folded one way or not folded at all. Or maybe a twenty dollar bill is folded in fourths or not at all. Everyone uses his or her own methods. When they get money back from someone else, they ask which bill is which and then fold it.\n\nI hope this helps....\n\nDon

The Pyramid has 13 layers of stone for the original 13 colonies.The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means "God has favored our undertaking." Benjamin Franklin, who was on the committee to design the picture, believed that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men with the help of God could do anything. The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, is interpreted to mean "a new order for the world." At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776.  \n  The eye is the eye of Providence.  It signified God watching over America and her progress(note that the pyramid is unfinished and has more growing to do).

$100\n\nThere was only as high as a $100,000 bill from the 1930's to my knowlege. A collector's item $1,000,000 was printed in 1988 on real currency paper, but they're only selling for $15-50 a piece. There was never a real $1,000,000 bill printed by the U.S. Treasury.

It is a fake. Unless the entire front of the bill is upside down or the serial numbers are upside down.\n\nBut the picture of his head can not be the only thing that is upside down\n\nIf the entire front is upside down then it is about $1,100.\nIf the serial and seal is upside down then it is about $900.
