Back of the 1 dollar bill
I took latin many many many (get the point) many years ago...I have no idea off the top of my head. But, the WikiPedia knows:
Annuit Cœptis is one of two mottos (the other being Novus Ordo Seclorum) on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. Taken from the Latin words annuo (to nod, approve) and cœpto (to begin, undertake), it literally means someone or something "has approved our beginnings". The unspecified subject is apparently the Eye of Providence, which the motto surrounds, and accordingly, the U.S. State Department gives the translation "He [God] has favored our undertakings" (brackets in original).[1]The phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages") appears on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, first designed in 1782 and printed on the back of the American dollar bill since 1935. It also appears on the coat of arms of the Yale School of Management, Yale University's business school. It is often mistranslated as "New World Order", but the Latin for that phrase would be Novus Ordo Mundi.
