*** Still on the right side , the Eagle holds 13 arrows and an olive branch with 13 leaves, each representing one of the original Colonies.
*** On the left side of the bill, you will see a Pyramid with an Eye, the All Seeing Eye, is an ancient symbol of divinity -- not a shout out to Freemasons, as conspiracy buts believes.

*** Still on the left side of the bill, the Western side of the Pyramid is dark in color, as we (USA) had'nt yet fully explored the American West.
