According to the National Institute of Environmental and Hygiene Sciences (NIEHS), the pyramid is actually one side of the Great Seal of the United States combined with the eagle you see on the other side of the bill.

A pyramid without a lid can be a metaphor for a country that was not yet finished at the time the pyramid was designed. The NIEHS says the design was intentional, and Charles Thomson - the designer of the Great Seal - said it represented "strength and durability."

The eye above the pyramid should be a reflection of divine providence for the creation of the USA, which is further demonstrated by the terms ANNUIT COEPTIS ("God favors our undertaking") and NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM ("New order for the world").

While Thomson came up with the pyramid idea, a committee that included Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson was responsible for developing the idea of ​​divine providence as the theme for the symbol.

There are some interesting symbols in the pyramid, as noted in the US Currency Education Program.

If you look closely, you can see the Roman numerals at the base of the pyramid, which indicate the number 1776 - the year the country was founded. In addition, 13 steps can be seen along the outer side of the pyramids, which is also not accidental.

The eagle, depicted as the second half of the Great Seal, holds 13 arrows, a shield with 13 stripes, and 13 stars in a constellation above its head.

The program says, among other things, that the image of the Great Seal was not always on the $1 bill.
