WASHINGTON — Conspiracy theorists take note: The myths surrounding one of America's oldest and most enduring national symbols are about to be debunked ... if you believe the government, that is.
The keepers of the Great Seal of the United States, the emblem on the back of the US$1 bill, want you to know what it is not. It is not a sign that Freemasons run the country, it has nothing to do with the occult, and it does not contain clues to a fabulous hidden treasure.
"People are just not aware of the complexity and intent of the symbolism and what our Founding Fathers were trying to do with it," said Priscilla Linn, senior curator at the U.S. Diplomacy Center.

This is just interesting....Why in the world do they even bother releasing this info? There is so much evidence that the Freemasons were involved in the making of the U.S. Maybe I am wrong, but something is not right about this...
I will comment more later after I get back from town...

This is just my take, but I believe the pyramid represents the society 'they' set up. It shows that the money/capitalism is a pyramid scheme basically. The large pyramid symbolises the common people (working class, middle class). The smaller 'cap stone' symbolises the ruling classes, who have their own hierarchy the same as the common people, but the common people will never get into the ruling class, thus the separation.
The eye indicates that 'they' control the lower pyramid; us...

Hi wrangel, you are correct why bother explaining what the symbol means on our money when for years it has not been brought up by the government. The only reason would be to debunk the symbol printed on our money, would be there are too many questions being asked by the public about the symbol. I believe the public has gotten too close to the truth about the masonic symbol.
