Allegedly, if you go to the top right hand "1" on the face -GW side - ( it's in a sort of shield) and look at the side of the "shield" there's a litle sort of "halo" shape and with a magnifying-glass, you will see -it is claimed- an owl.
I've never seen it and I've just looked at a dollar-bill and I still can't see it.
The 'spiders" are claimed to either side of "one dollar" at the bottom: about 1.5 cms form the letters on either side.
I gues an owl is pretty conventional for "wisdom": so if there is one there: it's not a great problem.
Have you ever noticed how the stars above the eagle make a star of David?
And the "Jesus on the pancakes" line was very funny.

I also wondered why theres 13 stars, 13 arrows, 13 stripes, 13 olives, 13 leaves, 13pyramid steps, 13 letters in annuit coeptis, 13 letters in e pluribus unum, 13 characters in 'in god we trust 1', 13 symbolically as the number 1 with the word 'one' (3 letters) across it in each corner on the back, on each side of GW's pic, if you count the leaves and the olives 2gether, there's 13 on each side. what is 13?

However, the owl DOES have some significance to the Illuminati, etc. The eye on the pyramid on the dollar is the Eye of Horus, an Egyptian god of knowledge and insight. Horus has the head of (any guesses?)....an owl
