                  The United States one-dollar
                  bill ($1) is a denomination of United States currency. The first
                  U.S. President (1789/97), George Washington, painted by Gilbert
                  Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse (front), and the
                  Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse. 

                  The reverse of the one dollar bill , features on the left, a
                  barren landscape dominated by an unfinished pyramid of 13 steps,
                  topped by the Eye of Providence within a triangle.In 1782, the
                  Eye of Providence was adopted as part of the symbolism on the
                  reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. It was first
                  suggested as an element of the Great Seal by the first of three
                  design committees in 1776 and is thought to be the suggestion
                  of the artistic consultant, Pierre Eugene du Simitiere. 

                  Today, the Eye of Providence is often associated with Freemasonry.

                  The Eye first appeared as
                  part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with
                  the publication of Thomas Smith Webb's Freemasons Monitor. Here,
                  it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that
                  a Mason's thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who
                  is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe).

                  Typically, the Masonic Eye
                  of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes
                  the Eye is enclosed by a triangle. 

                  Popular among conspiracy theorists is the claim that the Eye
                  of Providence shown atop an unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal
                  of the United States indicates the influence of Freemasonry in
                  the founding of the United States. However, common Masonic use
                  of the Eye dates to 14 years after the creation of the Great
                  Seal. Furthermore, among the members of the various design committees
                  for the Great Seal, only Benjamin Franklin was a Mason (and his
                  ideas for the seal were not adopted). Indeed, many Masonic organizations
                  have explicitly denied any connection to the creation of the
                  Seal. 

                  At the base of the pyramid are engraved the Roman numerals MDCCLXXVI
                  (1776), the date of American independence from Britain. At the
                  top of the seal stands a Latin phrase, "ANNUIT COEPTIS,"
                  meaning "He (God) favors our undertaking." At the bottom
                  of the seal is a semicircular banner proclaiming "NOVUS
                  ORDO SECLORUM" meaning "New Order of the Ages,"
                  which is a reference to the new American era.
