Just a guess....\nSine the pyramid is the house of eternal life it may be that the Pharoah is watching over his old town he ruled so he can see how the town is being ruled now he's passed\n\nagain just a guess\n\n\nI Looked It Up Here's what I Found\n\nThe reverse of the one dollar bill has an ornate design that incorporates the Great Seal of the United States, and it is of noted interest to historians and numerologists for the symbols contained therein.\n\nTo the left is the reverse of 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 shadow cast by the pyramid from the rising sun represents the undiscovered lands to the west. The sun, which is rising, represents that a new nation has begun. The Latin phrase Annuit Cœptis ("He [God] has favored our undertaking") is located above the pyramid. NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM (New Order of the Ages) is shown on a ribbon below the pyramid. Written at the base of the pyramid in Roman Numerals is MDCCLXXVI or 1776, the year the United States Declaration of Independence was signed.\n\nThe eye above the pyramid is similar to one of the symbols of the Free Masons. This symbol is also popular among conspiracy theorists to have connections with the Illuminati secret society.

It is the year that quarter was minted, or made. You will notice a year like that on every coin and dollar bill. I think it is pretty cool when I find really old pennies.

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.

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

Just to be clear from the outset, it has nothing to do with the da Vinci Code.\n\nIt is a Masonic symbol. The Founding Fathers were big on Freemasonry.

The sign is attested in business correspondence between British North America and Mexico in the 1770s as referring to the Spanish-Mexican piastre. The piastre was known as "Spanish dollar" in British North America, and in 1785, it was adopted as U.S. currency, together with both the term "dollar" and the $ sign.\n\nThe sign's ultimate origins are not certain. The most widely accepted explanation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is that "$" is a corruption of the letters "PS" or "Ps" (for 'peso' or 'piastre' - especially the former, as each letter could represent each syllable of "Pé-So") written over each other in Spanish. Eventually, the 'P' was reduced to a vertical line.\n\nAnother possibility is that it derives from the British notation 8/ for eight shilling, referring to the Spanish 8 reales coin ("piece of eight"), which later became the USA dollar. Others derive it from the Portuguese Cifrão sign .\n\nEarliest usage wrote the sign with a single vertical stroke. For some time, the double-stroke symbol  was common, but is now again falling out of use.

It's probably to signify that it's an amount of money. You put it in the beginning so the person is prepared.\n\nLike in Spanish, the question mark is before and after the sentence, you're prepared to read it as a question.

Take out a one dollar bill.  I'm going to kick you a $2 bills worth of info. Read THIS.\n\nThe one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material.\n\nWe've all washed it without it falling apart.  A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know.\n\nIt is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look.\n\nIf you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United States Treasury Seal.\n\nOn the top you will see the scales for a balanced budget.\n\nIn the center you have a carpenter's square, a tool used for an even cut.\n\nUnderneath is the Key to the United States Treasury.\n\nThat's all pretty easy to figure out, but what is on the back of that dollar bill is something we should all know.\n\nIf you turn the bill over, you will see two circles.  Both circles, together, comprise the Great Seal of the United States.\n\nThe First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal.\n\nIt took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.\n\nIf you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.  Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning.  We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.\n\nThe Pyramid is uncapped, again signifyingfying that we were not even close to being finished.  Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity.  It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.\n\n"IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. The Latin above the pyramid ,\n\nANNUIT COEPTIS, means, "God has favored our undertaking."  The Latin below the  pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, "A new order has begun."  At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776.\n\nIf you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States.  It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery, and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments.\n\nSlightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States, and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.\n\nThe Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:\n\nFirst, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it.\n\nSecondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England.\n\nAlso, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.\n\nAt the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor.\n\nWe were coming together as one nation.\n\nIn the Eagle's beak you will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning, "one nation from many people."\n\nAbove the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away.  Again, we wer e coming together as one.\n\nNotice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace.  The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.\n\nThey say that the number 13 is an unlucky number.  This is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor.\n \n\nBut think about this:\n\n13 original colonies,\n\n13 signers of the Declaration of Independence,\n\n13 stripes on our flag,\n\n13 steps on the

It represents Asclepius, the greek god of medicine and healing (or health). Hence the snake in the W.H.O logo.

It means "telegraphic transfer". American translation = "wiring money"

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.

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

because money itself is not worth anything. It is just a symbol for perceived value.

It would probably be more symbolic than anything.  The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the United States, and terrorists are into symbolism and such.  That's why they attacked the WTC - it was the symbol of America's economic might.  The Pentagon was attacked because it's the symbol of America's military might.
