The Latin on bottom states "New Secret Order"
The word seclorum does not mean "secular", as one might assume, but is the genitive (possessive) plural form of the word saeculum, meaning (in this context) generation, century, or age. Saeculum did come to mean "age, world" in late, Christian Latin, and "secular" is derived from it, through secularis. However, the adjective "secularis," meaning "worldly," is not equivalent to the nominative plural possessive "seclorum," meaning "of the ages."[3]
Thus the motto Novus ordo seclorum can be translated as "A new order of the ages." It was proposed by Charles Thomson, the Latin expert who was involved in the design of the Great Seal of the United States, to signify "the beginning of the new American Era" as of the date of the Declaration of Independence.

Obviously, there are 13 stars, 13 arrows being held in one claw, 13 leaves with 13 'grapes' being held by the other claw..as some claim-

I see it a little differently. Arrows obviously symbolize war- Now, to me it looks as though the other claw is holding an OLIVE BRANCH- NOT a leaves and grapes..So, if an olive branch symbolizes peace or reconciliation....
Could this symbolize good & evil? War & Peace?
I have no idea- What do you think?
That's not really what bugs me though...
This is worrying- "The year, 1776, is the Beginning year in which man is placed above God through exceeding sinfulness of sin.
Now, call me paranoid, but...if that is true...are we not already living in hell? I mean, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not religious as such but these people at the top obviously know a whole lot more than we do...could this really be the age that 'Satan' is ruling the world? And I don't mean a big read devil with horns and scales..

Hey,
I'm trying to find out what the 'Exceeding the Sinfulness of Sin' actually means...
Google doesn't really have much to go on apart from book titles.
I know what it means.
An example - a gay man commits an orgy of 6 men every night without using condom. That's "Exceeding the Sinfulness of Sin".

I admit that I get irritated when I see someone automatically link Lucifer to Illuminati. It has nothing to do with masonry. I just think that people should know what they are talking about before opening their mouths. What was the Illuminati? When were they formed? Why did they form? When were they disbanded? why were they disbanded?
If after you can answer those questions, you still feel the need to associate them with the Devil, I guess at least you had done your reading.
Sorry if I sounded like and A$$hole.

Symbology, hmm...

There is a small owl just to the left of the "1" which appears on the upper right hand corner of the Dollar Bill. From time to time politicians like Bill Clinton and George W. Bush Jr. have been caught with a camera flashing the horned owl symbol with their hands.

In many parts of the world, owls have been associated with death and misfortune, likely due to their nocturnal activity and common screeching call.
In the culture of the Uto-Aztec tribe, the Hopi, taboos surround owls, which are associated with sorcery and other evils. The Aztecs and Maya, along with other Natives of Mesoamerica, considered the owl a symbol of death and destruction. In fact, the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use[14]: Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies"). The Popol Vuh, a Mayan religious text, describes owls as messengers of Xibalba (the Mayan "Place of Fright").[15] The belief that owls are messengers and harbingers of the dark powers is also found among the Hočągara (Winnebago) of Wisconsin.

However in other cultures the Owl can symbolise wisdom, good fortune and positive things.
Its all relative I suppose. But I never take it too serious, its symbology and only symbology.

No, it says nothing about secrets:
