🏦🇺🇲Symbols on the $1 Bill: What Do They Mean?

The $1 bill is one of the most recognizable currencies in the world, but have you ever wondered what its design means?

Front of the Bill:

Portrait of George Washington: While George Washington is now associated with the $1 bill, the first $1 bill featured Salmon P. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury during the Civil War. Washington’s portrait was introduced in 1869.

Federal Reserve Bank District Seal: Each $1 bill has a seal that identifies the Federal Reserve Bank that printed it. The letter and number on the seal, such as “B2,” represent the Reserve Bank (New York) and its district number (2).

Serial Number: A unique 11-digit serial number appears twice on the front. The first letter corresponds to the Reserve Bank district letter on the seal.

Treasury Seal: The U.S. Treasury Seal, relatively unchanged since 1789, features the scales of justice, the key of power, and a chevron with 13 stars representing the original colonies.

Back of the Bill:

Great Seal: The back of the $1 bill features both sides of the Great Seal of the United States, a symbol loaded with meaning.

Obverse: An eagle with a shield on its chest holds an olive branch (peace) in its right talon and arrows (war) in its left. The motto "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of many, one) emphasizes unity. The 13 stars above the eagle represent the original colonies.

Reverse: An unfinished pyramid with 13 layers represents strength and endurance, topped by an eye symbolizing providence. The mottos "Annuit Coeptis" (Providence favors our undertakings) and "Novus Ordo Seclorum" (New Order of the Ages) reflect the nation's founding ideals.

Design is so important that there is a law prohibiting any changes to the design of the $1 bill.
