The beaver is a noble, hard-working animal. The difference is that despite the fact that the beaver is one of our national symbols, we (apparently) don't have any qualms about exploding them. I won't get much further into this, suffice to say that every spring, there is dynamite set off by the authorities.

Well, inasmuch as the Order of Skull & Bones was not formed until 1833, and the design on the Dollar Bill was created in 1782, I consider it fairly unlikely that the Order of Skull & Bones influenced the design on the Dollar Bill (unless they travelled back in time 51 years).

There is nothing for which to apologise. But remember, the internet is a great resource -- often, you can figure things like this out on your own.

It appears on the face on the right most 1(one) get a magnifying glass to see it. But it indeed looks like the white owl(like the old muriel cigars ad)? You look carefully and no it in no way looks like a spider. Just check it out and you be the judge. Why on U.S. currency? Maybe its their message of American domination or World domination for that matter. Someone had a picture of it a while back. Maybe I should do some research. Latter,

Old thread I know, but still interesting.

What exactly is the whole purpose of (secretly) putting all those symbols and symbolism...stuff....on our money?



Also what's the significance of "172"?
Apparently it's written in the bushes, on the back of a $5 dollar bill, at the base of Lincoln Memorial.

There is none. The symbols mean exactly what the Treasury Dept. says they mean. There's absolutely no good reason to "hide" these symbols anywhere. People see shapes in the clouds, they are seeinng what they want to believe. Nothing more.

And there is no Owl in the one dollar bill. What you are seeing is the tip of one of the cones shaped out by the lines in the backgroud. There are several other similar cones throughout the bill, but they are not covered by the frame of the number "1", so they can be seen in their entirety.

Agreed. I heard once that Freud was to have said "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
There is enough conspiracy in this world. No need to look for it where it doesn't exist.

But there is no owl! The "owl" that you see there is merely the tip of one of the cones made by the gridlines in the background of the dollar bill. You only see the tip because the rest of the cone is covered by the frame of the "1". You can see the same such cones around the rest of the border of the back of the dollar bill. Look at the tip of each cone... look exactly like your "owl"

yeah its an owl, a bohemian grove symbol that is called

"care". Each year at bohemian Grove the participants get drunk, eat and cast off the cares of the world via a mock sacrifice to this owl god that represents in fact babylonian deities which pagans used to burn their children alive to.

Just for the sake of accuracy, the Babylonians did not practice human sacrifice, much less child sacrifice.

Why wouldn't they design the bill symetrically? The owl is just another symbol on the dollar bill, it's full of them. Does anyone know who designed the one dollar bill? This may shed some light on the situation. It looks like an owl to me.

It could have been the designer's signature in a way, just like many early programmers printed dot matrix designs of cartoon characters on chips and circuit boards they designed and put into computers. Many people collect these chips.
