Got On the One-Dollar Bill in 1935. One day in 1934, while Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace was waiting to meet with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, he looked through a State Department publication titled, "The History of the Seal of the United States." Wallace Recollects that Day.
“These three ‘wise men’ – by placing the reverse of the Great Seal on the dollar bill – succeeded in announcing to the world that America is on ‘the path’, and is the world’s best hope for the spiritual (occult) evolution of the planet.

The two circular drawings on the reverse of the bill are actually parts of the two-sided Great Seal of the United States. Although we don't see the entire seal outside of our wallets too often, the notion of having a great seal is actually as old as the country itself. The Continental Congress passed a resolution on July 4, 1776, to create a commit...
The symbolism of the pyramid on the seal's reverse is trickier. The pyramid has 13 steps—the designers apparently never got tired of the 13 motif—and the Roman numeral for 1776 is emblazoned across the bottom. The all-seeing Eye of Providence at the top of the pyramid symbolizes the divine help the early Americans needed in establishing the new cou...
We can thank former Secretary of State Cordell Hull's busy schedule for that one. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace had to wait for a meeting with Hull in 1934 and decided to kill time by thumbing through a State Department pamphlet on the Great Seal. The pamphlet contained an illustration of the reverse side of the seal with the pyramid, a...
Possibly. The familiar E Pluribus Unummotto that the eagle holds in its beak underscores the union and togetherness of the 13 colonies. It might also underscore early Americans' love of periodicals.
At the lower right of the portrait on the bill's obverse you'll see the word "Series" and a year. You might notice that these don't change each year the way the numbers on minted coins do. Why not? According to the Treasury, the series date only changes when there's a new design for a bill, a new Treasurer of the United States, or a new Secretary ...
The tiny letters and numbers that appear on the top left and bottom right of the bill's obverse indicate the position of the note on the Treasury's printing plates. If your dollar bill has a tiny "FW" before this code, those letters indicate that it was printed at the Treasury's facility in Fort Worth, Texas, rather than in Washington, D.C. See Al...

7 de oct. de 2013 · Roosevelt had it placed on the dollar bill, where it remains, to the delight of college stoners. In 1929, Wallace met Nicholas Roerich, who first made his name as a painter in the Symbolist vein.
He called FDR's attention to the imagery – suggesting it be put on a coin – which inspired the President to have both sides of the Great Seal put on the one-dollar bill. Wallace saw beyond the politics and economics of the New Deal, beyond Masonic and Catholic. He was a farsighted man, a visionary, like the designers of the Great Seal.
