Answers:
1-2.
Symbols:
*Girls- we think girls represent the bank owners or investors. They are passive, very sleek, and proffesional. They chose to hide their identities and savor their "freedom behind a wall". And even though they smile, doesn't already mean that they are clearly showing their sentiments to those people that they had transactions with. The "girls" in the poem simply unattached their personal lives from their work.
*Money (dimes)- In literal sense, money plays crucial roles in bank transactions. It is the very core of this kind of business. However, in the poem, money is stated to be the very center of the universe. Every thing is done because of it. It tells how it is valued by putting it in the "great interior of the vault, built out of beaten dimes, stands open, shines". Moreover, money means power. When you have these, you will be respected no matter how nasty your attitude is.
*Vault- vault was used in the poem as a symbol of security. It tells the readers that when you money, you have the vault. Your power, which is money should be taken cared of and kept in a vault. Although power seems so invisible in people's eyes, they knew and fully aware that it is still there beaming in the vault's security without ostentation.

3.
*A bank is an establishment for the custody, loan, exchange, or issue of money, for the extension of credit, and for facilitating the transmission of funds. It somehow helps the people in keeping their money or when they run out of money. Banks help people in the sense that it lends them a dime but it also break people in by getting at most a hundred dime in exchange for one.
5.Everything revolves in money.
