The design of official U.S. currency does not feature a specific bow and arrow symbol. What may appear as a bow and arrow is either a misinterpretation of the bundle of 13 arrows in the Great Seal or an unofficial “chop mark” stamped on the bill after issuance.
The Arrows in the Great Seal
The Great Seal of the United States, which is featured on the reverse of the one-dollar bill, contains an eagle holding a bundle of 13 arrows in its left talon and an olive branch in its right.
