Urban Legend:
The eye is the all seeing eye. Its a masonic symbol that represents all knowing wisdom.
Fact;
According to the U.S. Treasury FAQ, the eye and the pyramid are part of the Great Seal of the United States. "The unfinished pyramid means that the United States will always grow, improve, and build. In addition, the 'All-Seeing Eye' located above the pyramid suggests the importance of divine guidance in favor of the American cause."
Cheers :-)

Get a good book on the Masonic Order. A good one will have all the answers you are looking for. I'll give you a preview-the number 13 ( as in groups of things) is all over the dollar.

Its a secret hint to the hidden treasure chest. If you hold the bill up and look at the sun you will see gold stars.
