Currency

The "Dollar Bill" is a form of currency used in Beach City.

Appearance
The "Dollar Bill" is a green rectangle with the word "one" enscribbed in the middle, an upside down diamond, which may be foreshadowing, and the snake from the "coin". In each of the four corners there is a number one. The words "United States of America" are printed in the center on top, and "One Dollar" on the center bottom. They closely resemble US currency, dollars.

"Pilot"
Steven uses this currency to buy donuts for the Crystal Gems at the Big Donut.

"Cat Fingers"
Steven buys a donut and surprises Sadie and Lars by letting the cat finger give them the buck.

"Keep Beach City Weird"
Ronaldo Fryman tells Steven his theory about the symbols printed on the bills. According to Ronaldo, the snake on the right side of the dollar represents the Snake People. The diamond on the left symbolizes the Snake People's "underground mines... or their sharp teeth." Later, Ronaldo revises his theory of the diamond's meaning: "Polymorphic Sentient Rocks" (Which, unknown to him, are the Crystal Gems). Ronaldo also said that Polymorphic Sentient Rocks are part of the Great Diamond Authority.

"Watermelon Steven"
Sadie suggests Steven should sell his Watermelon Stevens to Beach City residents to earn money.

"Alone Together"
Stevonnie buys two donuts for themselves (Steven and Connie) to eat.
