The pyramids represented on the US bills are not the pyramids of GIZA as everyone seems to discuss and assume.
They are in fact the pyramids of Kush, in what is now Sudan. These were built from around 500BC, by the Nubians who eventually became pharos of Upper and Lower Egypt.
They had been ruled by Egypt proper a thousand years or 2 before hand, but after that had stopped, they maintained many of the ancient ways, and so reintroduced forgotten arts and styles back once they ruled Egypt. They are in a totally different style to the original Pyramids of Saqqara or Giza.
For one thing, they were built after the Pharo's death by his successor. Most importantly here though, these pyramids reflect the same style as the ones on the dollar bills; steep sided, were usually, although not always, built purposefully without a cap stone of any kind, and with ridges running up each side/edge. Maybe there is more to this.

BYRD...Where do ya think they got the eye from..Egypt Perhaps??
The Nubians are believed to be the first human race on earth,
and most of their customs and traditions were adopted by the ancient Egyptians,passed on to Solomon and David the knowledge kept being handed down finally on to the Masons and as america seems to have sooo much masonic sybolism which comes from egyptians thats where they got it from...

Most of what I can find pretty much point to it being the eye of Horus and it being linked to the Egyptian Pyramids.

The thing is just because they wasn't discovered untill the 1800's doesn't mean to say that no one knew of their existance...
