SO I mean on the Coin...... OK.

Answer 1

Monticello was the name of Thomas Jefferson's plantation home (much as Mount Vernon was George Washington's).

"E pluribus unum" is Latin meaning "from many, one". It was formerly the official motto of the United States, refering to the creation of one nation out of many states. It appears on almost all US coins and paper currency. (Notice the spelling is 'pluribus', not 'plurbius', and there's no period.)

Interestingly, the phrase goes back to the Romans, but with a much more every-day origin! Its original use was in a recipe, instructing the chef to grind together certain ingredients, of various colors, until he had made "from many, one [color]".

Answer 2

Monticello, located in Charlottesville Virginia was the home of our third president, Thomas Jefferson, author of the declaration of independence. And was depicted on the reverse of the nickel from 1938 until 2003, and was to return on the nickel in 2006. Monticello was also depicted on the back of the two dollar bill, which was printed from 1938, until 1966. And, E pluribus unum means (taken from Latin), from many, one. The thirteen original colonies were united to make one nation. There are also thirteen letters in "E pluribus unum". Hope this helped you out some.

Answer 3

Monticello is the Virginia home of Thomas Jefferson.
E Pluribus Unum is Latin for "Out of many, one", referring to the one nation being composed of many states.
