The word on the dollar bill is "seclorum".

Now I know it sort of looks like the word saeculorum, but the word "paper" sort of looks like the word "pauper".

That isn't exactly a trusty translation method.

I'll stick to Dan Brown thanks.

Yes, which is a late Latin spelling of the word, as you would know if you had read the Latin dictionary I linked you to earlier.

saeculum (poet., esp. Lucretian, sae-clum ; less correctly seculum, se-clum ), i, n. dim. [etym. dub.; perh. root si- = sa-; Gr. saô, to sift; Lat. sero, satus; whence Saturnus, etc.; hence, orig.]

The same Dan Brown who thinks that Christ's divinity was invented by the Council of Nicaea (debunked here)? I'll pass on his "research", thank you.

You are aware, of course, that Dan Brown is a novelist?

As in "a writer of fiction?"
