Novus Ordo Seclorum

The phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum (Latin: New Order of the Ages), originally a motto of Freemasonry, appears on the Great Seal of the United States, first publicly revealed in 1782 and printed on the back of the US dollar bill since 1935. It is often inaccurately thought to mean "New World Order," the Latin translation of which is Novus Ordo Mundi.
