I CHECKED THIS INFORMATION THROUGH "FACT OR FICTION." EVERY STATEMENT IS FACT. NO URBAN LEGENDS INVOLVED
IN THIS ONE. GO GET A DOLLAR BILL NOW. YOU'LL NEED
ONE AS YOU READ THROUGH THIS WEB PAGE.
THE ONE-DOLLAR BILL YOU'RE LOOKING AT FIRST CAME OFF THE PRESSES IN 1957 IN ITS PRESENT DESIGN. THIS 'PAPER MONEY' IS IN FACT A COTTON AND LINEN BLEND. RED
AND BLUE SILK FIBERS RUN THROUGH IT.
IT IS ACTUALLY MATERIAL!
WE'VE ALL WASHED IT WITHOUT IT FALLING APART. A SPECIAL BLEND OF INK IS USED. THE CONTENTS IS A SECRET OF COURSE. IT IS OVERPRINTED WITH SYMBOLS AND THEN IT IS STARCHED TO MAKE IT WATER RESISTANT. IT IS PRESSED TO GIVE IT
THAT NICE CRISP LOOK.
LOOK AT THE FRONT OF THE BILL. YOU WILL SEE THE
UNITED STATES TREASURY SEAL. ON THE TOP, YOU WILL SEE THE SCALES FOR A BALANCED BUDGET. IN THE CENTER IS A CARPENTER'S
T-SQUARE, A TOOL USED FOR AN EVEN CUT. UNDERNEATH
IS THE KEY TO THE UNITED STATES TREASURY.
THAT'S ALL PRETTY EASY TO SEE AND FIGURE OUT. WHAT IS ON THE BACK OF THE DOLLAR BILL IS SOMETHING WE
SHOULD ALL KNOW. TURN YOUR DOLLAR OVER. THE SECRETS WILL UNFOLD.
THE LEFT SIDE CIRCLE HAS A PYRAMID. THE FACE IS LIGHTED. THE WESTERN SIDE IS DARK. THIS COUNTRY WAS JUST BEGINNING. THE WEST HAD NOT BEEN EXPLORED. WE HAD NOT DECIDED WHAT
WE COULD DO FOR WESTERN CIVILIZATION. THE PYRAMID IS
UNCAPPED, SIGNIFYING THAT WE WERE NOT
CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED.
INSIDE THE CAPSTONE, IS THE "ALL SEEING EYE," AN ANCIENT SYMBOL FOR DIVINITY. IT WAS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S BELIEF THAT ONE MAN
COULDN'T DO IT ALONE. A GROUP OF MEN, WITH THE HELP OF GOD,
COULD DO ANYTHING. "IN GOD WE TRUST" IS ON THIS CURRENCY.
THE LATIN ABOVE THE PYRAMID, ANNUIT COEPTIS, MEANS "GOD HAS FAVORED OUR UNDERTAKING." THE LATIN BELOW THE PYRAMID,
NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, MEANS, "A NEW ORDER HAS BEGUN."
AT THE BASE IS THE ROMAN NUMERAL FOR 1776.
LOOK AT THE RIGHT-HAND CIRCLE. IT IS ON EVERY NATIONAL CEMETERY IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS ALSO ON THE PARADE
OF FLAGS WALKWAY AT THE BUSHNELL, FLORIDA NATIONAL CEMETERY. IT IS THE CENTER PIECE OF MOST HEROES' MONUMENTS. IT IS THE SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, AND IS VISIBLE WHENEVER
THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS PUBLICLY.
THE BALD EAGLE WAS SELECTED AS A SYMBOL FOR VICTORY. HE IS NOT AFRAID OF A STORM, AND HE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SOAR ABOVE IT. THE SHIELD IS UNSUPPORTED. THIS COUNTRY STANDS ON ITS OWN. AT THE TOP OF THE SHIELD IS A WHITE BAR, SIGNIFYING CONGRESS... A UNIFYING FACTOR. IN THE
EAGLE'S BEAK IS, E PLURIBUS UNUM, MEANING
"ONE NATION FROM MANY PEOPLE."
ABOVE THE EAGLE ARE THIRTEEN STARS, REPRESENTING THE THIRTEEN ORIGINAL COLONIES. IN HIS TALONS, THE EAGLE HOLDS AN OLIVE BRANCH AND ARROWS. THIS COUNTRY WANTS PEACE. BUT WE WILL NEVER BE AFRAID TO FIGHT TO PRESERVE ALL PEACE.
IT IS NEARLY WORLDWIDE BELIEF THAT THE NUMBER 13 IS AN UNLUCKY NUMBER. THINK ABOUT THIS:
13 ORIGINAL COLONIES
13 SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
13 STRIPES ON OUR FLAG
13 STEPS ON THE PYRAMID
13 LETTERS IN THE LATIN ABOVE THE PYRAMID
13 LETTERS IN "E PLURIBUS UNUM"
13 STARS ABOVE THE EAGLE
13 PLUMES OF FEATHERS ON EACH SPAN OF THE EAGLE'S WING
13 BARS ON THE SHIELD
13 LEAVES ON THE OLIVE BRANCH
13 FRUITS
13 ARROWS
13TH AMENDMENT FOR MINORITIES...
YOUR CHILDREN DON'T KNOW THIS. HISTORY TEACHERS DON'T KNOW THIS. MANY VETERANS GAVE UP TOO MUCH TO EVER LET THE MEANING FADE. MANY VETERANS REMEMBER COMING HOME TO AN AMERICA THAT DIDN'T CARE. TOO MANY VETERANS NEVER CAME HOME AT ALL.
