Have you ever taken a close look at the one-dollar bill? More specifically, at the back of the dollar bill. It holds clues about the founding of the United States that still have meaning today. On this MoneyWise, we discuss the dollar bill’s imagery and symbolism with economist Jerry Bowyer. He’s done the homework and you’ll be fascinated by what he’s found.
- The dollar’s design isn’t conspiracy, it’s history. We’ll start with heraldry. The designers were influenced by the Medieval period. Certain colors and artistic motifs symbolized specific things. They wanted to symbolize the philosophy of the United States.
- What’s the meaning behind the pyramid? It’s four-sided, not a three-sided one. Four-sized ones represent increased stability; they’re harder to knock down. Also, the incomplete nature of the pyramid (it has no top) symbolizes how the nation is still being built.
