"IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. 

The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT 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.

If 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 hero's monuments. 

Slightly 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.

The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons: 

First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it. 

Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England. 

Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own. 

At the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. 

We were coming together as one nation. 

In the Eagle's beak you will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM," meaning, "one nation from many people." 

Above the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. 

Again, we were coming together as one. 

Notice 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.

They 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.

But think about this:

 13 original colonies

13 signers of the Declaration of Independence

13 stripes on our flag

13 steps on the Pyramid

13 letters in the Latin above: ANNUIT COEPTIS

13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum"

13 stars above the Eagle

13 bars on that shield

13 leaves on the olive branch

13 fruits

and if you look closely, 13 arrows.

And, for minorities: the 13th Amendment.

If you used a magnifying glass, you can see Abraham Lincoln sitting at the
                   Lincoln Memorial on the back of a penny.

                   The $500, $1000, $5000 and $10,000 bills have not been printed since l946.

Motto appearing on every coin

"Mind Your Business" - this motto was the first one printed on US coins. 

But now the motto is different. "In God We Trust" - found on all US coins, this phrase was first used in 1864 during the Civil War. 

It was dropped for a period, then later restored by Congress "E Pluribus Unum" (in Latin it means "From many, One"), this phrase (part of Great Seal of the United States) also appears on every coin.
