What Do the Symbols on the US One-Dollar Bill Mean?
|
|
There are a lot of myths and controversies surrounding the dollar bill. Urban legends tie the dollar bill to the Masonic order, and some people will argue that the symbols on it reveal long-lost secrets of the country. The dollar bill went through many changes in size, color, and overall design. The first dollar bill to be issued as a Legal Tender Note was created in 1862 and featured a portrait of Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase. The current design of the dollar bill, which is the one surrounded in mystery, didn't come into effect until 1969.
The main symbols on the dollar bill are the Great Seal of the United States, the unfinished pyramid, and the Eye of Providence. The all-seeing eye over the unfinished pyramid is supposed to portray the United States as a land continuously growing and far from finished, although some believe it indicates a connection to the Illuminati secret society. The bald eagle on the dollar bill is a symbol of victory and courage. The dollar bill also has many Latin phrases spread throughout. The main ones read:
- E Pluribus Unum: "From many, one"
- Novus Ordo Seclorum: "A new order has begun" or "a new order for the ages"
- Annuit Coeptis: "God has favored our undertaking"
The number 13 plays an important role in the dollar bill, as it is the number of original colonies in the country. You can see it represented by the number of steps on the pyramid, the number of stars above the eagle, the number of letters in some of the Latin phrases, and the numbers of fruits, leaves, and arrows on the pictures.
Small details that people may miss on the dollar bill include the number 1776 written in Roman numerals (MDCCLXXVI) to represent the US Independence; the controversial "In God We Trust" term; an unsupported shield to mean strength in independence; and the balancing scales, which represent justice, not economic progress as some have suggested. Some people seem to believe there is also an owl and two small spiders represented on the dollar bill, although this is subject to controversy.

Of the curls all over the bill, take notice that just because 6's are filled they are 6's nevertheless. Drawn the sequence of number sets on a piece of paper rather than just symbols.
It's shown on green mark, 16 is key. Find the two sets of 16 and tilt the bill sideways, it's a royal wig. The entire bill is a tool of illusion. This is why, when you're handed the mark, which defines your place or without such you can die, you were to refuse it. When it was issued by your own religion. It's a test of those who want more, have nothing and those content with what they have. This will ultimately be the judgment tools. But it's a man-made agenda. That is for certain. - anon53325

I was watching the mystery of the dollar bill and for months i have been analyzing it. i have come to something of new awakening. it is always discussed about the obvious 13? but does architecture not have mathematics in it as well? I notice that all sides on the eagle from the leaves, the arrows the stars and the banner all bear 13, but the eagle's tail has 8 feathers. what if it has always been a form of mathematics? i came up with this. the end of the world is always being talked about these days, with calendars ending oct. 13 is appeared 4 times 13X 4 = 52 - the 8 feathers on the tale gives you ??? that's right, 44. who is the 44th president? why is all this occurring now? Is it perhaps not to tell us who is being controlled in the white house for this new world order to take place? 32 feathers on the eagles wing and 33 on the other 32 + 33 = 65 and 65 - the 52 from the 13X 4 effect will get you 13. Hmm. i will post once i have unlocked more. -The Lurker - anon49938

I was looking at a book called "Don't open" that had a picture of a dollar bill with basketballs in the "web" of it. Is this true? Does anyone know where I can see this picture? - mikep5560
