The front side of the banknote depictsfirst president of the country George Washington, that was Freemason. It looks like a familiar green piece of paper. But few people know that this bill is crammed with Masonic symbols like no other. So let's begin the research.

A few words about appearance.

The circle in which the pyramid is located isEarth symbol.

Above the pyramid 13 the all-seeing eye of the “Great Architect of the Universe”, nicknamed Baphomet (Behemoth, Satan), rises up the steps the main thing in Masonic affairs, which becomes known at the highest degrees of initiation in the Masonic pyramid. He stands at the top of this pyramid.

Symbol of the All Seeing Eye - uh This symbol can be found in many cultures, but today it is most often associated with the Freemasons. The symbol means - all-pervading divine gaze. Moreover, its meaning is the same in all cultures. In Christianity, the Eye in a triangle means the Trinity and the meaning lies in the words: “Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him and trust in His mercy.” However, since 1782, the all-seeing eye has been placed on the Great Seal of the United States - the seal used to certify all government documents.

On the seal, the sign of the all-seeing eye is surrounded by the words "Annuit Cœptis", which means in Latin “He (God) is the patron of our conspiracy”, what is wrong? translated as « He (God?) blesses our deeds" .

Immediately below the pyramid you can see the words"NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM", which means "New World Order" (or "New Order for the Ages").

" Small pyramid with an eye " is in the rays of the Sun and has covered it with itself, this indicates thatHe (Satan) rules EVERYWHERE and EVERYWHERE on Earth instead of the Sun and SEES EVERYTHING - controls, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to hide from him on Earth. In other words -on Earth it is not the Sun (God) who rules, but Satan .

The PYRAMID itself suggests that those whoESTABLISHES A NEW (SATANIST) ORDER came from the land of the PYRAMIDS, that is, EGYPT, in which I was Egyptian Priests established a SLAVE system or whatever they call it now a crowd-elite society was created.

Fold a dollar in half- here is the great double-sided seal of the USA (THE GREAT SEAL).On one side are the priests, on the other are the masons. This is such an interesting gang.
And the goal of this gang is simple - to make of us a worldwide cosmopolitan herd without clan or tribe.

The purpose of the Freemasons is written on the ribbon in the eagle's beak on the right - "E PLURIBUS UNUM". Of course, this Latin is translated so that the people are not afraid - “unity in diversity”, etc.,but in reality - “one people out of many.”

Mentally draw a star of David and get letters at the verticesASNOM, from which a word is assembled"MASON".

Number 13 . It is found everywhere:

13 leaves in a palm branch from an eagle,
13 olives in a palm branch,
13 arrows in his other paw,
13 stripes on the flag on his chest,
13 5-pointed stars above the eagle's head,
13 steps at the pyramid,
13 letters in words above the pyramid,
13 letters in words above the eagle,
13 beads to the right and left of the “seal” circles (2 times 13 )

Total 10 times 13 . Where are the other 3? And they are disguised.

On the eagle’s shield there are only 12 thin horizontal lines, but at the top there is room left for one more, the last one, 13 lines
In the center of the bill there is a large letter “N” - 13 counting in the ancient Greek alphabet.
And the “double” pyramid contains again 13 vertices (8 on the bottom truncated and 5 in the “eye” on top)

They say that this is because originally there were states 13 . But it's not that simple. At first there were 12 of them, and 13 organized by force in order to “get into the number.”

There is a big one in the center of the billletter "N" - 13 counting in the ancient Greek alphabet

13 - mystical number of Satan

Number " 13 “The occultists called it: “Death.” In Kabbalah they act 13 evil spirits. Proverb: " 13 - Baker's dozen".

Number " 13 "symbolizes disharmony, disaster, death, ruins; curse; treason; contradiction, inconsistency. As a number that immediately follows the “lucky” number, it is considered (since ancient times) hostile, bringing evil, but at the same time sacred.

In the Middle East13 — a figure of the underworld that brings misfortune to the cosmic order.

In the year 13 months (lunar cycles) 28 days each ( 13 *28=364). however, due to religious prejudices lunar number 13 traditionally considered unlucky, which is why we have a year with twelve unequal months.

13 - black number, because 12 witches take part in the Sabbath. Thirteenth at these gatherings was the DEVIL.

Number 666 is the number of the Beast (Satan):

Satanic symbols are also encrypted in the Masonic symbolism of the 1 dollar bill: the number of the Beast is the number 666.

For example - the three central layers of the truncated pyramid each consist of 6 stones (that's how it is on the dollar).

A little history

However, the first actual American money should be considered not dollars, but “continental money”, issued in 1776. At the suggestion of then-President Benjamin Franklin (who, by the way, wrote the famous aphorism “money is minted freedom”), on their reverse side was depicted a round chain made up of thirteen links - seemingly symbolizing the first thirteen states. Let’s remember this point again: we will meet the number 13 again, and more than once.
During the years of the struggle for independence in the North American colonies of England, a temporary paper banknote was in use, which was nicknamed the “continental dollar”, since its rate was pegged to the “column dollar.” It was this name that North American politicians were guided by when creating the financial system of the new state, while Thomas Jefferson personally suggested taking the “Spanish dollar” as a model when minting coins. In 1785, the US Congress decided to begin minting its own coins. The 1792 Act introduced a decimal monetary system with gold and silver coins for the first time in the West. The first American silver dollar was issued in 1794.
In 1861, the first American paper money appeared. The standard currency is the so-called "United States Notes", nicknamed "Green backs" because of the green color of their reverse sides. This is where the word “bucks”, so familiar to our ears, originates.

Studying a banknote

There are many articles on the topic of the magical number 13 on the one dollar bill. And, indeed, the dollar, like no other currency, is stuffed with symbolism, which, in one way or another, is associated with the number 13. Moreover, it also contains the symbol of the Star of David. Let's take a closer look at one dollar bill.

Fig 1. Dollar

The two circles on the banknote are nothing other than the two sides of the GREAT SEAL of the United States.

Left circle:

Fig 2. “All-seeing eye” or “great architect”

At the top we see the inscription ANNUIT COEPTIS - which means “approved undertakings”;
Below NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM - “new sacred order”.
At the bottom of the pyramid - in Latin numerals MDCCLXXVI, that is, 1776, the year the USA was founded.
Now let's look for the number 13, finding it is not that difficult.
13 steps of the pyramid;
13 digits in the sum of the Roman numeral MDCCLXXVI (nine digits) plus four digits in the number 1776;
13 characters in the slogan ANNUIT COEPTIS;

Consider the right circle:

13 stars above the eagle's head, which form the Star of David (see Fig. 4)

13 characters in the slogan E PLURIBUS UNUM (translated: “Out of many, one”).
13 horizontal and 13 vertical stripes on the eagle's chest shield. 13 leaves and 13 berries on an olive branch.
13 arrows in the eagle's left paw.
The letter N, the 13th letter of the traditional Latin alphabet, appears 13 times.
13 stars on the seal of the US Treasury. (see figure 5)

Fig 5. Stars on the Treasury seal

So these are the facts. What we can find by carefully examining the bill. Now, I want to present three points of view on the significance of the symbols drawn on the dollar.
Official point of view

On the back of the $1 bill is the Great Seal of the United States. These are two images: on the right is a bald eagle, covered with a shield decorated with the design of the stars and stripes. In one paw the eagle holds an olive branch (symbolizing peace), with 13 berries and 13 leaves (symbolizing the 13 colonies that formed the USA), in the other - 13 arrows (symbolizing war). There are 13 stars above the eagle. The eagle's head is turned towards the olive branch, which should indicate the US desire for peace (until 1945, the eagle looked the other way). The top of the shield represents the legislative branch, the eagle's head the executive branch, and the tail the judicial branch. Above the eagle’s head there is a ribbon with the Latin inscription (also of 13 letters) E Pluribus Unum - “One of Many.”

(Subtleties of translation from Latin:

On the ribbon in the eagle’s beak is the inscription: “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Of course, this expression is officially translated so as not to scare anyone in the world: “unity in diversity”; however, to be precise, this Latin means “out of many, one.” Which has recently begun to be read as “one people among many,” implying the supremacy of the American nation over the rest.
On the left side is a pyramid.
Below it is another inscription: “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM”. Translated as “New Order Er” or “New World Order”.
Above the pyramid is “ANNUIT COEPTIS”. It is translated as follows: “He blesses our deeds.”
Officially, “He” is interpreted as “God.” However, according to some researchers (in particular, Stan Deo), the eye above the pyramid is a sign of Lucifer in the form of his wisdom. And this symbol means mystery, power and miracle.
Mystery - because you see the eye, but you do not see the personality.
Power - because the “eye” is all-seeing.
The miracle lies in the fact that the “eye” hangs in the air above the pyramid.
By the way, the Koran says about the devil: “He has one eye, like a swollen grape.”)

On the left is an unfinished pyramid, with the number 1776 at the base (the year the United States was founded, indicated in Roman numerals). There is no official explanation for this symbolism. It is generally accepted that the pyramid symbolizes the future growth of the United States and the pursuit of excellence. The “all-seeing eye” in a triangle framed by the sun's rays (a very ancient religious symbol) symbolizes the divine power watching over the world. On top of the pyramid there is a Latin inscription of 13 letters “Annuit Coeptis”, which means “He Approves Our Acts”, under the pyramid is another Latin saying “Novus Ordo Seclorum” - “New Order of Generations”, symbolizing the advent of the “American era”.

The reasons why dollars acquired a green color are completely unknown.. Until 1929, dollars were made in different colors; monotonous green appeared only in 1929. The explanation for this fact sounds like this: green dyes were quite cheap, the green color was relatively resistant to external influences, and the green color psychologically evoked trust in money and a sense of optimism. In recent years, dollar bills have once again acquired new colors - shades of yellow and pink.
The point of view of the American historian Alfred Siegert.

- Mr. Siegert, why are you interested in the secrets of the dollar bill?

– It all started with my interest in Russia, from where my ancestors came to the USA at one time. As a philosopher, I was attracted to the philosophical systems of the great Russian thinkers Blavatsky, Vernadsky and Roerich. Few people in modern America know that the overall design of the dollar bill belonged to a native of Russia, but this is the honest truth. In the US state archives, authorship is attributed to a certain “Sergei Makronovsky,” but, most surprisingly, no information about this person could be found even in the border service. It turned out that the creator of the drawing of the most common banknote, on which people pray and curse, on which the world economy rests, disappeared... He never entered the territory of America, and perhaps did not even exist.

It took a whole investigation, but in the end I was dumbfounded. None other than the Russian mystic, philosopher and artist Nicholas Roerich worked under the pseudonym “Makronovsky”!
Moreover, Roerich not only created the design of the American currency, but also had a huge influence on the then US President Franklin Roosevelt and Vice President Henry Wallace, and the entire Democratic Party.
The political opponents of Roosevelt and Wallace hated Roerich with all their hearts. The popular historian Schlesinger, an ardent enemy of Roosevelt and Roosevelt’s course of rapprochement with Russia/USSR, called Roerich a “swindler” and attributed to him almost absolute power over the “fooled” Roosevelt and Wallace.

Of course, when I established that the one dollar bill was designed by Roerich under the personal direction of Roosevelt, I was stunned.

The first thing I did was take my wallet out of my pocket and began to peer closely at the design of the buck. Everyone knows that the dollar has significant symbolism - but no one has thought to analyze it from the point of view of “Russian” influence.

– Many people believe that the dollar bill contains Masonic signs such as the “all-seeing eye” and the Star of David.

– Yes, upon a superficial examination. This is what symbol hunters traditionally notice. An unfinished pyramid, above which is a triangle of the “all-seeing eye.” Both of these symbols are Masonic. They mean that the work of creating the United States is not yet completed and that the inspirer of this work is the Almighty. The pyramid casts a shadow in the western direction, and the light naturally comes from the East. This is a very multi-valued symbol, and it was designed specifically for the dollar bill, since there is simply no shadow on other Masonic signs (including the US state seal). The author of this symbol was Roerich.

To the right of the pyramid is an image of an eagle. There are even more secret signs here. The eagle is a symbol of St. John, the patron saint of mysticism, the author of the Apocalypse. In his paws he holds a bunch of arrows - a symbol of the biblical King David, a warrior and, by modern standards, a terrorist, as well as a branch of an olive tree - a symbol of King Solomon, a creator and peacemaker. Above the eagle’s head is a crown in which the small stars of Solomon (five-pointed) form the pattern of the large Star of David (six-pointed), symbolizing the impossibility of peace without war.

But all these signs are obvious and well studied. But what is little studied is Roerich’s contribution. Why, for example, does the number 13 appear so many times on the dollar? This seemingly unlucky number can be found on the banknote, you guessed it, 13 times!
If you follow primitive logic, then the dollar bill is just a bundle of bad luck.

But what did Roerich mean? Why did he impose the design on the States?

– In order to understand Roerich’s plan, which he, apparently, never explained to any of his American followers, you need to think about the most important aspects of the philosophy of this great mystic. Roerich carried out a synthesis, fusion, of the Jewish-Christian tradition with Indian magic, the teachings of the great Mahatmas.

Traditionally, we consider the number 13 to be unlucky. According to legend, Judas sat thirteenth at the table of the Last Supper. In addition, thirteen is the number of the Moon, not the Sun, which means it is the number of darkness. Some consider thirteen to be the number of Lilith, the first wife of Adam, the leader of the demons.

But there is also very significant evidence about the special, neither good nor evil, character of this number. 13 is the number of the highest esoteric power, capable of directly turning to the Almighty. And how things will turn out further depends on the merits and virtues of the one who calls for help from above.

In Jewish tradition, 13 is the number of the patriarch Enoch, the only person taken to heaven alive. 13 is also the number of Metatron, an angel who serves as the ears and mouth of the Almighty. This is also the number of facets of the Fruit of Knowledge (yes, yes, the same one from which Eve and Adam ate). And the Fruit of Knowledge itself is a schematic representation of a four-dimensional cube, a tesseract, which encloses a three-dimensional sphere, our world.

And in the Indian mystical tradition, especially in the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev, thirteen is the number after which one should stop counting, for human things can be counted in numbers from one to a dozen, while supernatural things begin with

thirteen, but they are incomprehensible. So after twelve comes thirteen, then thirteen again, then again... And so on thirteen times.

Nicholas Roerich managed to combine the mystical defense of Jewish and Indian traditions - and the world received a great currency, the indestructible dollar. The US economy not only recovered from the Great Depression of 1929-1933, but also expanded to unprecedented, truly universal proportions. The Roerich dollar began to rule the world.

– But how then can we explain the current, very difficult situation? The dollar is falling, the USA is on the verge of a crisis, credit derivatives are depreciating, gold has risen in price 5 times in 8-9 years. But the dollar bill has not changed. Was Roerich’s magic really so short-lived?

– Who told you that the dollar has not changed? A change was made to Roerich's design. A new magical symbol appeared on the dollar, which was not intended by the Russian philosopher (see Figure 6). This symbol is the Horned Owl, the sign of the goddess Astarte, the goddess of discord and deprivation.

Fig 6. Owl

And it appeared quite recently, after President Nixon abandoned the gold standard. The dollar has become impossible to exchange for gold - and in the upper right corner of the banknote, almost invisible to the uninitiated eye, the Horned Owl sits and squints angrily.

- So, until it is removed, we will not see an increase in the exchange rate? Will the dollar continue to fall?

- I think so. But this is not an easy topic. I continue to collect information, especially due to the fact that the American currency is now being actively redrawn, new designs are appearing. I am currently working on a book dedicated to whether Roerich would approve of new banknote designs. When the book is ready for printing, then we’ll talk in more detail.

- Well, the prospect is tempting. So we don't say goodbye?

– Where there, this story simply must have a continuation!
A point of view collected from many found on the Internet, united by the essence of the information presented.

Number 13
As we looked at at the beginning, the dollar bill has an inherent fiery love for the number 13. It turns out strange. People, as you know, are characterized by such a vice as superstition. We, of course, are not afraid of black cats, empty buckets and the thirteenth - but we still experience some tension on such occasions. When creating symbols, especially state symbols, we will probably not depict such objects on them. Try to remember at least one state emblem, banner, symbol where something similar would be drawn. I guarantee there is no such thing.
Americans, unlike all sorts of proud peoples, are not ashamed of their superstitions, but cherish and cherish them. For example, in good American hotels there are no “thirteenth rooms” - but there is some kind of “twelve-a” room. So as not to poison the soul of those who stay in this room. Still, after all, “the devil’s dozen.”

Dislike for the number 13 is characteristic of all of Europe, and, more broadly, of all Christian states and cultures. This is due to many reasons (in particular, the sacredness of the number 12). America, as you know, is a Christian state - at least it calls itself so.
And yet, America is the only country in the world whose entire state symbolism is based on the number 13.

There is only one widespread religious tradition that has a positive attitude towards the number 13. This is Judaism.
Here we are treading on very slippery ground. You should be aware that no one except the Jews themselves knows for sure what Judaism is. This is a closed religion, and any statements about it can only be made with great reserve.
However, some initial things are still known. In particular, the number 13 is associated with two things fundamental to Judaism. Firstly, with the so-called “thirteen attributes of God’s mercy.” And, secondly, with the thirteen fundamental principles of the Jewish faith, formulated by Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, the greatest medieval Jewish thinker, the personal physician of Sultan Saladin, known among non-Jews as Maimonides, and among Jews as the Rambam. Every “observant” Jew should know these principles: it is something like a brief code for the builder of Judaism.
Briefly, they sound like this. A Jew must believe in the existence of a God who created everything, is one, unique, incorporeal, and so on. Further, one must believe in all the sayings of the prophets and in the truth of the Torah, and also in the fact that “another Torah” (that is, another teaching emanating from God) will not be given. You should also believe in final resurrection of the dead, and most importantly, you should believe in the coming of the Jewish Messiah who will rule the whole world...
There is no other thirteen-point “list of principles” as famous.

Here, again, it is very easy to stumble and draw a false conclusion - for example, the one that the founding fathers of the United States, who were so strangely confused by the number 13, secretly served the Jews. Apart from any historical evidence to the contrary, there is a simple reason: people usually prefer to serve themselves rather than others, and the founding fathers of America were not Jews. Therefore, it is more logical to assume something else - namely, that they themselves professed Judaism, or rather something like Judaism... If we take into account that almost all the “creators” of America were Freemasons of high levels of initiation, then these assumptions become more tangible: Freemasonry generously drew from treasuries of Jewish thought.
One more thing should be noted. The mythology of America as the New Israel is extremely important for the early stage of the formation of American statehood. From the very beginning, Americans “made their lives” in the image and likeness of the “chosen people” - only they considered themselves the “chosen ones”. Of course, later this idea became somewhat blurred - but, nevertheless, it did not disappear completely. The current American self-perception as “nation number one” ultimately goes back not only to America’s economic and political successes, but also to this sense of original chosenness.

Pyramid, eagle and slogans

The bricks in the pyramid symbolize the unity of all money in the world, ordered in a hierarchy, which is determined by the top of the pyramid - a luminous Masonic triangle with the eye of the “great architect of the universe.”
The aligned pyramid is a symbol of the world order established by the “free masons.” It expresses the Masonic dream that Freemasonry is predetermined by the role of the future elite, the ruling clan, to which, as the “chosen people,” all the power and all the values ​​of other peoples will be transferred.

(Interpretation of the Pyramid

About the pyramid.
According to many researchers, the bricks in the pyramid symbolize the unity of all money in the world, ordered in a hierarchy, which is determined by the top of the pyramid - a luminous Masonic triangle with the eye of the “Great Architect of the Universe” (God or Satan - a matter of everyone’s beliefs).
The aligned pyramid, as some researchers believe, is a symbol of the world order established by the “free masons.” It expresses the Masonic idea that they are predetermined to be the ruling clan, to which all the values ​​of other people will be transferred.
And here is another Masonic sign - a five-pointed star above the head of an eagle (also present in the forehead of the Masonic god Baphomet). In Masonic language it is called the "Pentagram". Associated with black magic. For seventy years it was a symbol of the Soviet state. At one time, the pentagonal star was the official seal and coat of arms of the city of Jerusalem.
Coincidence or not, on the roof of the Israeli Supreme Court building is a pyramid with an all-seeing eye. True, it is not completed on the dollar, but on the building of the Supreme Court of Israel it is already completed, which many associate with the coming into the world, if not of the Antichrist himself, then of his subjects. A photograph of the inside of the building shows that the only cross in the building is an inverted cross of stairs that people walk on. That is, it is as if a Christian shrine is being trampled underfoot.
But the most amazing thing is that the width of a dollar bill of any denomination is 6.66 cm (everyone can check this fact). The question arises: if the Americans consider themselves a Christian nation (hence, well aware of the words of John the Theologian about the “number of the beast” (Rev. 13:18)), then why don’t they produce their own banknotes that are at least a tenth of a millimeter different in size from the current ones? ? In mockery of John the Theologian? Now many are beginning to say that there is something more serious behind this.
HERE)

The phrase Annuit Coeptis can be translated either as the words "time of beginning" (in which case the inscription refers to the Roman numerals at the bottom of the pyramid - it indicates the year of the Declaration of Independence, 1776), or as the phrase "he promoted our undertakings" (in which case it obviously refers to flying eye). It seems the authors meant “both.”
The second inscription is no less interesting. Novus Ordo Seclorum can be translated as "a new order for (future) generations", or, a little more loosely, "a new order of times" (since the word "seculum" in classical Latin meant "generation", but was sometimes used to mean "age" , defining some long period of time). However, now another translation is more common - "New world order"(if we understand seculum in a meaning similar to the Greek “eon”). This interpretation, associated with Roosevelt's New Deal, led him to decide to use the reverse side of the Great Seal in the design of the new dollar bill.

The slogan “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM” means a new order in the world empire under the power of the dollar.
In the eagle’s beak is a ribbon with the traditional Masonic slogan, again consisting of 13 letters: “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (“Unity in diversity”). This motto can also be interpreted as “Out of Many – One”. That, in turn, according to the Masonic doctrine of the origin of the world, borrowed from ancient materialistic teachings, at the beginning of existence there was only “One”, which then broke up and is still breaking up into “Many” different beings, objects and phenomena, forms and names, types and categories.

Look closely at the cleaned print image. It is clearly seen that if the bottom word Ordo (containing 4 letters) is taken as a starting point, then all words clockwise contain one more letter than the previous one. In other words, the circle is: Ordo (4), Novus (5), Annuit (6), Coeptis (7), Seclorum (8).
We connect the letters M A S O N (one from each word) and see what happens:

(note: the picture shown is not a pentagram, but a six-pointed star, but from the text it’s easy to figure out the pentagram yourself)

This is a classic example of an encrypted occult symbol. The number of words forms a pentagram, the number of letters describes a circle around the pentagram, the result is a hidden image of a magical symbol.
Anyone who is familiar with occult symbols will easily understand what is missing in this pentacle. But the number of the beast is missing here. If it is missing, it does not mean that it does not exist.
The top of the pentagram pentagon (the crosshairs of two lines) indicates the middle row, which contains six stones. There are also six stones in the rows above and below it.
Let's look at the central image of the seal - a pyramid.
The sixth, seventh and eighth rows have the same number of stones, six each. In other words, in the center of the pyramid, the number of the beast 666 is encrypted by the number of stones. By the way, the width of 1 dollar is also 66.6 mm.

A refutation of the theory that Roerich designed the dollar.

Open letter to the newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda” N.K. Roerich was not the designer of the one dollar bill In March 2009, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper published a series of articles by E. Chernykh about the American dollar and the causes of the global crisis. The author claims that “The secret symbols on the American dollar were painted by our mystical artist Nicholas Roerich”. A significant proportion of all three articles are devoted to this strange hypothesis. However, E. Chernykh does not provide any reliable evidence. Moreover, the article is full of obvious errors in dates and events that make his accusations against Nicholas Roerich untenable. For example: “We have already written about the mystery of the 1928 one-dollar bill, which was designed by the Russian artist Nicholas Roerich on the instructions of the future US Vice President Wallace.<…>On the left side of the one-dollar bill, Roerich placed a large seal of the USA.”. Changes in the design of the one-dollar bill, which are written about in Komsomolskaya Pravda, occurred in 1935, and not in 1928, as Evgeny Chernykh claims. Moreover, in 1928 N.K. Roerich has not yet returned from the Central Asian expedition that began in 1923. And I was not familiar with G. Wallace, who at that time was just the editor of the agricultural magazine Wallace's Farmer. The main change on the 1935 one-dollar bill was the appearance of two sides of the state Great Seal of the United States. This seal in its current form was approved in 1782 shortly after the founding of the United States of America. The official website of the US Department of the Treasury states: “The Eye and Pyramid depicted on the back of the one dollar bill are taken from the Great Seal of the United States. The Great Seal was first used on the back of the Federal Reserve one dollar bill in 1935.” I sent a request to the Bureau of Currency and Securities of the US Department of the Treasury and on March 20 received the answer: “We could not find anything in our records confirming that Nicholas Roerich ever worked for us or performed work for us.” The Bureau goes on to say: “For the 1935 series, the reverse design for the Silver Certificate was changed to include the Great Seal of the United States. Edward M. Weeks, supervisor of the Bureau's Engraving Department, was the designer. This design was also used for the back of Federal Reserve Notes.” With the series 1935, the back design for Silver Certificates were changed to incorporate the Great Seal of the United States. Edward M. Weeks, supervisor of the BEP Engraving Division, was the designer. This design was also used for the backs of Federal Reserve Notes.”"> . In July 1935, US President F. Roosevelt received the first preliminary version of the new bill from the Bureau of Currency and Securities. N.K. Roerich, who had been on the Manchurian expedition far from America since April 1934, could not have designed this dollar bill. In addition, there is no mention of the design of the dollar bill in his letters. About the history of the Great Seal. Letters from G.A. Wallace, US Secretary of Agriculture in the 1930s, written in 1951 and 1955, are published there. Henry Wallace recalls that the idea to use the image of the Great Seal came to him while reading a brochure about the history of the creation of the Great Seal. He approached Roosevelt with the idea of ​​adding it to coins, and the president, approving this proposal, insisted on using this symbol on the one-dollar bill instead of coins. The corresponding order was sent by Roosevelt to the Bureau of Currency and Securities. Further E. Chernykh writes: “Roerich encrypted the most important secret in the center of the bill. On top there is a catchy inscription: “United States of America.” Just below is a seemingly pious phrase in Latin: “InGodWeTrust" (We Trust in God). Which one?” The inscription "United States of America" ​​already existed on previous designs of the one dollar bill. The phrase "In God We Trust" was not in the 1935 design at all. The text first appeared in 1957 on the Silver Certificate and in 1963 on paper dollar bills, following Congress' approval of the phrase as the official motto of the United States in 1956. Moreover, this phrase is not in Latin, but in English. Thus, we can say with all confidence that N.K. Roerich has nothing to do with the design of the dollar bill. And also, based on numerous and irrefutable facts and documents, we know who initiated the change in the banknote - G. Wallace and F. Roosevelt, and who was its designer - Edward M. Weeks. There is also an ethical side to this issue. Over the course of several issues of the famous newspaper, the line was persistently pursued - Roerich, the dollar, the economic crisis. Who needed to cast a shadow on the name of the world famous artist and humanist - N.K. Roerich? Everyone knows Nikolai Konstantinovich’s attitude towards money as a forced necessity of the modern world, nothing more. “You are right to be horrified that “the dollar is king.” Not even a king, but a ferocious tyrant-enslaver,” writes Roerich. Shouldn't a journalist rely on clear facts instead of speculation and unsubstantiated rumors? Especially when we are talking about a world-famous cultural figure. Shouldn't a researcher study all the facts, primary sources and double-check everything carefully before writing something negative? After all, even an unintentional lie will cause irreparable harm if it is replicated in millions of copies. “In 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered that a new dollar bill should be designed. He requested that this new design should be based on a symbolism of the Great Seal of America.” Richard S. Patterson and Richardson Dougall. The Eagle and the Shield: A History of the Great Seal of the United States. 1976. N.K. Roerich. Promotion. Sheets of the diary, T.3, M., MCR, 2002, P. 325

Many people have probably heard that the United States 1 dollar bill is “decorated” with Masonic symbols. Of course, it’s still interesting to “disassemble” the dollar into “cogs” and see what’s there “inside”... That’s exactly what we’ll do now.

We take out a piece of paper, unfold it and... we see images of the so-called “seal of the United States”, decorated with obscure symbols. The left side of the dollar represents the Great Pyramid and the "All Seeing Eye" in rays of light.

The pyramid is presented as a symbol of the Egyptian priests who rule the world, and the all-seeing eye symbolizes power, mystery and miracle.

So what do the Masons have to do with it? And despite the fact that this very pyramid, firstly, consists of thirteen brick steps (the number of Masons) and, secondly, it is leveled, which makes the usual Egyptian pyramid a sign of “freemasons”. For such a “straight” pyramid is a symbol of the unified world order they established. And finally, the eye itself, enclosed in a Masonic triangle.

It is interesting that the Russian artist Roerich, who himself was a member of one of the Masonic lodges, took a direct part in drawing up the “composition”. And the order for “design” came from another Freemason - the well-known Rothschild. We took the design problem seriously, just like a website template...

Of course, every frog praises, first of all, its own swamp, and is there a “secret” hint of “world domination” in the design of the dollar, no, but the Masons really took part in the development of the design of the American dollar. We can only think and build our own versions of the “creation” of the myth (is it a myth?) about America’s world domination.

But let's try to take a closer look at the history of the creation of the dollar bill and the Great Seal of the United States, which is considered the main object containing Masonic symbols.

Masonic rituals are provided with a large number of symbols - familiar things that can convey hidden meaning. The Masonic signs on the $1 bill mostly relate to the Great Seal of the United States, so let’s take a closer look at the history of its creation.

Man uses signs, pictures, emblems and words, etc., to convey his thoughts or ideas, and some of them are symbols more than others. This was especially evident during the Age of Enlightenment during the 18th century and the signs that we know today as symbols of the United States arose under French influence.

The War of Independence ended, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, since then this date has been celebrated as Independence Day. The winners decided to create a Seal of the United States that would reflect their values ​​for future generations.

Benjamin Franklin, J. Adams and Thomas Jefferson took part in the creation of the seal design, assisted by the artist Pierre Eugene Du Simitiere. Du Simitiere was an accomplished portrait painter and designed the state seals of Delaware and Virginia.

Six weeks later, the first option was put forward for discussion, but the issue was postponed for more than 3 years. In 1780 he was sent to a new committee (Lovell, Scott and Huston). The artwork was handled by Francis Hopkinson, who was also responsible for the design of the new flag. However, for another 2 years the issue could not move forward.

Early in 1782, the 3rd Committee (Middleton, Rutledge and Elias Boudinot, as well as William Barton, who was knowledgeable in matters of heraldry) was chosen and, in less than five days, they had come up with two rather complex designs. These projects were delayed by Congress. The then Secretary of Congress, Charles Thomason, took upon himself the issue of creating the Great Seal. With Barton's help, he made some changes and a third design emerged, inspired by Hopkinson's image on the 1778 fifty-dollar bill (a pyramid surrounded by the words "DEO FAVENTE PERENNIS" - "God's blessing forever"), which was resubmitted by the committee to Congress, and finally , Printing has been approved.

Prior to this time, the famous Freemasons involved in the creation of the Seal included Franklin, Jefferson, Houston and William Barton, but none of the developers of the final version were Freemasons. However, it is known that they essentially continued to work with the original version.

Let's take a closer look at the Great Seal of the USA:

Front side: American (bald) eagle holding an olive branch in the right talon, and a bunch of 13 arrows in the left talon, a scroll with the motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” in its beak, a shield on the eagle’s chest.

Above the eagle's head, above the shield, a ring of 13 stars forms a constellation on a blue background in a halo, among the clouds.

Reverse side: truncated pyramid. Above the pyramid there are eyes in a triangle, surrounded by a halo. Around the all-seeing eye is the motto “ANNUIT COEPTIS.” At the base of the pyramid the number is MDCCLXXVI. On the bottom of the ribbon is the motto “NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM”

ANNUIT COEPTIS: What does this mean?

The motto ANNUIT COEPTIS has no subject or tense. In 1892 it was proposed that the missing noun in the sentence should be the All-Seeing Eye at the top of the pyramid..., and thus the motto came to be interpreted in the present tense as, "it (the All-Seeing Eye) favors our undertakings." In a later publication, the missing subject ANNUIT was it was decided to replace it with God, and the motto in a more recent publication is translated - in the past tense - as, "He (God) blessed our undertakings."

NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM: What does this mean?

The motto originally belongs to Virgil, a famous Roman poet who lived in the first century BC. - to the stanzas of his Eclogue IV, a pastoral poem that expresses the world's yearning for a new era of peace and happiness. "Magnus ab integro seclorum nascitur ordo".

Virgil's poems have been translated in various ways, for example:
"A large series of ages begins again.
The mighty march of the ages begins again.
The mighty order of the ages is born again.
The majestic whirlwind of whirling centuries begins again."

Translation of the word "Novus": new, young, fresh, original.

Translation of "Ordo": series, series, order.

"Seclorum", a shortened form of "seculorum", is the plural of "seculum", translated: generations, centuries or ages.

Thomson, a Latin expert, coined the motto: "novus ordo seclorum" and explained its meaning: "the date at the bottom of the pyramid is the date of the Declaration of Independence, and the motto below it signifies the beginning of the new American Era which begins from that date."

Official English translation of "novus ordo seclorum": "A new order forever"

Note that the motto "novus ordo seclorum" was not intended to mean "new world order." Seclorum is plural, then what is a new order of worlds? And Thomson argued that the motto refers to the beginning of the new American era, beginning in 1776.

The growing ranks of the pyramid being built help illustrate the new order across generations. Thus together these words show the beginning of a new American Era, beginning with the date contained at the base of the Pyramid.

The seals were approved in 1782 and 1841, but in 1883 the reverse side was officially rejected by a committee headed by Harvard University professor Elliot Norton, who said in no uncertain terms that it was "...a dismal emblem of the Masonic Fraternity." From then on, it didn't really appear anywhere until 1935, when the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States appeared on the dollar bill.

Are the symbols on the Seal Masonic signs or coincidences?

Let's examine them sequentially, are they Masonic? Fact of Historical Interest: The Great Seal is similar to the double-sided coin that was featured on the $1 bill introduced by President Roosevelt in 1935; the obverse is on the right side and the reverse (pyramid) on the left. The eagle's head was originally turned toward the arrows, but at the insistence of President Truman, it was turned toward the olive branches in 1945.

The eagle has 32 feathers on its right wing - the number of ordinary degrees or degrees in Scottish Freemasonry.

On the left wing there are 33 feathers, corresponding to the 33rd degree of the same rite, awarded for outstanding Masonic services.

There are nine feathers in the tail - the number of degrees in the Head, Council and Command of the York Rite.

The Scottish Rite originated in France, which, together with the York Rite, which is also American, represents the union of French and American Freemasons in the struggle for Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.

The total number of feathers is 65, a number that according to Gematria (Gematria is the numerical values ​​of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet used in Kabbalah and Torah), means "gam yachad" (3+40+10+8+4) [Psalm 133 Hinei ma tov], a phrase often used in Freemasonry.

The halo above the eagle's head is divided into 24 equal parts, reminiscent of a 24-inch ruler, and symbolizes the ritual that you must perform every hour.

The 5-pointed stars are reminiscent of the Masonic Flaming Star and the "Five Points of Fellowship", which contain the essence of the doctrine of Freemasonry.

The arrangement of the stars forms the overlapping equilateral triangles that make up the Star of David.

The gold, silver and blue colors represent the moon, the sun and the Worshipful Master, the three minor lights of the Nederlandic rite, which originated in France.

Golden halo in English "Golden Glory" are two words starting with the letter G, one of the meanings of which in Masonic vocabulary is an abbreviation for the word "geometer". Freemasons use this term as one of the names of the supreme being.

The colors of the shield on the Eagle's chest are red, white and blue - the colors of the Royal Arch Masons.

If you look at the Great Seal directly, the All-Seeing Eye depicted on the reverse side will be in a golden halo. The obvious Masonic significance of this symbol is complemented by the fact that such an image appears on the Grand Master's jewel, although it is not known whether it existed before 1782.

The triangle is known to all Masons and can represent the three main Lights of the Masons - the Book of the Sacred Law, the Compass and the Square.

The isosceles triangle illustrates the Pythagorean Theorem or Euclid's 47th Proposition. Note that the triangle is not equilateral.

The pyramid has 13 rows.

Does she have a light side and a dark side - symbolizing dedication and uninitiation?

Nowadays 13 is considered to be an unlucky number, but consider the following:

13 first colonies
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence
13 stripes on the flag
13 Latin letters above the pyramid ANNUIT COEPTIS
13 stars above eagle
13 stripes on the shield
13 leaves on an olive branch
13 arrows
13 in gematria - ‘echad’ that is, the designation of unity

Now let's turn our attention to the Seal of the Treasury - on the front side of the bill with a portrait of George Washington

This Seal is in the 1968 edition. To many of you, without a shadow of a doubt, it will seem definitely Masonic.

We see 3 predominant images: scales, obviously representing justice, a ribbon with 13 stars (once again the first states), a key (symbolizing power).

However, let's take a closer look. This is not a ribbon, this is Chevron. The chevron represents the roof of a house, derived from the French meaning of the word "chevron" - rafters. It means protection. Until 1969, the chevron really looked like a Masonic square.

Note the date. This is the year the Department was created.

By the way, the basic design of the Treasury Seal is older than the Federal Government. So there's really nothing surprising here. The use of these symbols by freemasons may be a matter of expediency.

A note about the Scottish Rite: it was founded in France in 1754 and formalized in the United States in 1786, but it should be noted here that Benjamin Franklin was the Royal Ambassador to France, and was well acquainted with French Freemasonry.

Now let's go back to the initial artistic creation of the $1 bill.

Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, and Du Simitiere worked collaboratively and individually for a month, and then each presented a project to Congress. Adams presented a project by Simon Gribelin called "The Hercules Solution".

In Benjamin Franklin's handwritten note, he proposed a biblical scene: "Moses standing on the shore, and stretching out his hand to the sea, causing to crush Pharaoh, who sits in an open Chariot, with a crown on his head and a sword in his hand. Rays from the clouds reach Moses to express that he is acting on the orders of God." The motto that Franklin chose was: "Revolt against tyrants, obedience to God."

Thomas Jefferson's concept was a picture of the children of Israel being led through the wilderness by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. For the reverse side he proposed the image of the brothers Hengist and Horse, who were the leaders of the first Anglo-Saxon settlement in Great Britain.

Three other early designs featured David's harp. Most designs included an olive branch included in the final approved design, which is present on today's banknote. The biblical meaning of the olive branch is hope and peace, but the number of fruits and leaves was increased to thirteen by later committees.

We now understand why it was rejected and the project shelved.

All-seeing eye

One eye in Renaissance art was the artistic personification of the "Omniscient Omnipresent Deity." The Eye of Providence was part of the general art of iconography of the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1614, the frontispiece of Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World shows an eye in a cloud called "Providentia" overlooking the entire Earth. Du Simitiere, who proposed the use of the symbol, collected art books and was familiar with the artistic and decorative techniques and elements used in Renaissance art. Placed within the triangle, the eye moves beyond the general concept of God to a stronger statement of the Trinitarian. It was during this period that Masonic rituals and symbolism were very popular; and it is not surprising that many symbols common to society found use in Masonic rituals. Masons may have adopted the triangle due to the frequent use of the number 3 in their rituals: three degrees, three Original Grand Masters, three major officers, and so on.

Eventually the All-Seeing Eye came to be used officially by Freemasons as a symbol of God, but this did not happen until the end of the eighteenth century, after Congress adopted the Seal.

The All-Seeing Eye of God is noted several times in the Bible:

Psalm 31:8
“I will admonish you, I will guide you in the way you should go; I will guide you; My eye is upon you.”
Psalm 32:18
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him and trust in His mercy
Ezekiel 20:17
But My eye was sorry to destroy them; and I did not destroy them in the wilderness.

Freemasonry adopted the All-Seeing Eye in 1797.

Pyramid

In his message, William Barton stated that “The Pyramid symbolizes Strength and Longevity.” A parallel can be drawn with the 2 pillars of Freemasonry - Strength and Creation. Remember that Barton was a Freemason. However, you will not find a pyramid among the Masonic symbols.

It is known that this project was made taking into account the wishes of Chaim Solomon (1740 - 1785), who was the main financier of the Americans during the War of Independence against Great Britain. A Jew born in Prussia/Poland, he died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 1975, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp commemorating Chaim Solomon for his contributions to the American Revolution. The stamp contained a seal on both sides. The following words were printed on the adhesive side in pale green ink:

"Financial Hero - Businessman and broker Chaim Solomon was responsible for much of the money to finance the American Revolution and subsequently save the new nation from collapse."

Many historians argue that without his contributions, “there would be no America today.”

Thus, in conclusion, we can say that although the symbols used by the Masons are present on the dollar, it is not known for certain who used whose symbols: the Masons from the Great Seal or Masonic symbols placed on the Seal. That being said, Freemasonry did borrow and incorporate some symbols where appropriate.

Many of the other symbols on the $1 bill are coincidences and wishful thinking.

The currency of the United States of America has always been surrounded by an aura of intrigue since the release of the first dollar in 1862.
The dollar boasts an interesting history and holds many secrets. And although some of these secrets are sometimes interpreted too loosely, turning into full-fledged conspiracy theories, it must still be admitted that the design of the dollar bill is extremely curious.

See for yourself:

1. Masonic symbols.

There is a version that the Freemasons played an important role in the design of the dollar and even the founding of the United States. The so-called "All-Seeing Eye", located above the pyramid on the emblem on the left side of the dollar, is often used as a Masonic symbol. In addition, Benjamin Franklin, a member of the banknote design committee, belonged to the Masonic lodge.
However, this symbol has been used in different cultures and religions for thousands of years (remember the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus), and Freemasons began to use it after the creation of the dollar design. We also note that Franklin's versions of the Great Seal of State were rejected.

2. Number 13.


The number 13 appears more than once in the dollar figure. The pyramid has 13 steps; there are 13 stars on the eagle; the shield has 13 horizontal and vertical stripes; the phrases "Annuit Coeptis" and "E Pluribus Unum" each contain 13 letters; on the olive branch in the eagle's left paw there are 13 leaves and 13 berries, and in his right paw he clutches 13 arrows. Coincidence?
As you know, the number 13 is associated with many prejudices, and in many countries, including the United States, it is considered a bad omen. The 13 also plays an important role in Christianity (at the Last Supper there were 13 diners, the feast of St. Anthony of Padua falls on June 13 and is celebrated for 13 weeks), in Judaism (at the age of 13, Jews undergo the bar mitzvah initiation rite, and the Jewish faith is based on 13 principles) and in Islam (Ali, Muhammad's cousin, was born on the 13th).

However, the appearance of this number on dollars is explained much more simply: it was 13 colonies that declared their independence from Great Britain in 1776, forming the United States of America.

3. Connection with the Illuminati?

The dollar is often cited as evidence that the Illuminati had a hand in the founding of the United States. As with the Freemasons, the All-Seeing Eye is often considered an Illuminati symbol of omnipresent and all-knowing power.
Many also claim that the pyramid on the dollar symbolizes the hierarchy of power, with this secret society at the top (the frequent use of pyramids in the logos of financial institutions and corporations is also cited as “evidence”), and the Roman numeral MDCCLXXVI (1776) at the base of the pyramid supposedly denotes the year the country was founded, and the date of the emergence of the Illuminati.

Of course, there is no evidence for this theory, and it is unlikely that the Illuminati had anything to do with the design of dollar bills.

4. Strange creature.


You are unlikely to be able to discern this detail without a magnifying glass. In the upper right corner of the banknote, slightly above and to the left of the number 1, there seems to be some kind of creature lurking.
There are several assumptions about this. Some say it's an owl. Many people believe that this is simply protection against counterfeiting. But there are also those who see a spider there.

The latter argue that the hidden spider makes sense because the unit is depicted against a web background. There is also a version that on the reverse side the mysterious creature resembles a skull and crossbones. Do you see him?

5. Cross.


If you look at the corners on the back of the note, you can see the shape of an unusual cross or mill (behind the unit). Many believe that this is the so-called Maltese cross, which is a secret reference to the famous Maltese Order of Knighthood.
This order, founded in the Middle Ages, allegedly still continues its activities. In 1798, Napoleon stormed the island fortress of the knights, causing many of them to flee to America. Did they really manage to hide their symbol on the dollar?

6. Hindu deity.


Again, this detail is difficult to see without a magnifying glass. To the right of the base of the unit, in the lower left corner, there appears to be a figure with hair tied up in a bun. Many believe that this is a hidden image of the Hindu god Shiva.
It’s hard to believe, but conspiracy theorists sincerely believe that the dollar depicts Shiva, the Destroyer of Worlds. He is traditionally depicted with his hair tied up in a bun.

Do you see the figure to the right of the unit? Do you think this is really Shiva?

7. Twin Towers.


The origin of this theory is unknown, but in 2002 it suddenly surfaced on many websites. Conspiracy theorists claim that if you fold a $20 bill in a certain way, you will see an image of the burning World Trade Center towers.
Of course, this is cited as evidence that September 11 was either orchestrated by the US government or predicted by some higher power. Of course, it is impossible to seriously discuss this version, but we included it in the list for the sake of completeness.

The American dollar still keeps its mysteries. The dollar sign itself is seen to represent Spanish piastres, the Pillars of Hercules and the Old Testament serpent.

pillars of Hercules

There are many versions of the origin of the dollar sign, but the most common one says that this symbol was used in his accounting books by arms dealer Oliver Pollock. For his own calculations, Oliver took as a basis the symbol of the Spanish coin - the piastre or Spanish thaler, which was then in use on the American market.

It depicts the coat of arms of the Spanish monarchy. An integral part of it are the Pillars of Hercules, entwined with ribbon.

They were once the edge of the human ecumene, the Mediterranean world, and according to legend they were placed by Hercules on the Rock of Gibraltar and the Rock of Abila. So, during his tenth labor - the Stealing of the Cows of Heraklion, Hercules marked the most extreme point of his route. Geographically, this is the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, beyond which the ocean began, an area inaccessible and unknown to people of the ancient world and the early Middle Ages.

So for the Spaniards, these two intertwined columns symbolized the edge of the earth, and the inscription on the ribbon read: “nec plus ultra,” “nowhere further.” As for the letter “S,” it denoted waves breaking against rock columns. In the British colonies, piastres were called “Dollars with Pillars.” Obviously, Oliver abbreviated the Ps sign in his accounting reports as one S with two lines.

Temptation by the serpent

There are other versions of the origin of the dollar symbol. Researcher David Ovason claims that the dollar was once born from the German thaler (thaler or daler) - a large silver coin that circulated in the 16th-19th centuries. In Great Britain, a little later, the name of the coin acquired a more English sound - “dollar”. In England in the 17th-18th centuries, dollars were any silver coins similar to a thaler; references to them can even be found in Shakespeare:

The King of Norway asked for peace,
But before we bury the dead,
He had to on the island of St. Colm
Give us ten thousand dollars...

On one side of the German thaler a crucified Christ was depicted, and on the other a serpent entwining a cross. This is where, according to Ovason, the dollar symbol $ came from, which serves as a reminder to all of humanity that spiritual healing began with God, not money.

Alpha and Omega

George Washington was depicted on the dollar bill for a reason. He remained in history as a prudent and economical owner who kept his own accounting records, believing that it was easier to keep track of every penny. Celebrating his economic literacy, he was featured on the one dollar bill. But the story with Washington on the dollar does not end there. The frame that frames his portrait also deserves special attention.

According to Ovason, this is the symbol of Omega, a letter of the Greek alphabet that means "the end of everything."

Here, according to the researcher, the faith of Washington, who was a religious Christian, is symbolically expressed. In the book of revelations of John the Theologian, the expression Alpha and Omega is found more than once - the end and beginning of everything: “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to reward everyone according to his deeds. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last." The letter Alpha or “A”, which appears on the bill, like many other things, exactly thirteen times, is not lost in the dollar either.

Lucky number thirteen

The fear of the devil's dozen has long been ingrained in people's minds; in some hotels they even deliberately do not include the thirteenth number, the “unlucky number.” Nevertheless, the creators of the dollar definitely sympathized with him, if only because the States were once formed from the former thirteen colonies. The first flag of independent America had thirteen stripes and stars.

On the one-dollar bill there are thirteen letters "alpha", thirteen arrows in the eagle's paw, symbolizing the military strength of Congress, thirteen steps of the pyramid, thirteen stars representing the colonies that achieved freedom through their unity.

There are thirteen letters in the Latin inscription on the ribbon held by the eagle: “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of many, one”). By the way, the original inscription in Latin sounds like Ex Pluribus Unum. The letter X was removed deliberately to preserve the key dollar number - thirteen.

Pyramid

Perhaps the most mysterious symbol of the dollar is an unfinished pyramid, which is crowned with the “all-seeing divine eye,” a recognizable Masonic sign. According to the official version, the pyramid symbol means “strength and prosperity” and symbolizes the newly created United States, hence the thirteen steps in the number of colonies.

The incompleteness of the pyramid indicates the incompleteness of the state and the potential for its expansion. The phrase, located under the pyramid "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" ("New Law for the Ages"), according to Charles Thomson, one of the first figures of Congress, symbolizes the "new American era", which, according to his ideas, began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. There is also an appeal to Christianity here.

According to researcher Ovason, the creators of the new state hoped to bring to the world a new order based on Christian values. In other words, the inscription declares America to be the “new world order.”
By the way, the Roman numerals at the foot of the pyramid - MDCCLXXVI, which today cause no less debate than the “all-seeing eye”, indicate the year of adoption of the Declaration: M - 1,000, D - 500, CC - 200, L - 50, XX - 20, VI - 6. The total is 1776.

All-seeing eye

In the “eye” crowning the pyramid, some researchers see the image of the left eye of the Egyptian god Horus - “wadjet”, which symbolizes the moon. According to ancient Egyptian mythology, Horus lost it in a battle with the god of chaos Set. Healed by the god Thoth, the eye became a powerful amulet denoting world order, from royal power to fertility. In history, as we know, important religious symbols do not disappear, but are borrowed by other religions, undergoing a certain transformation.

According to Ovason, the same thing happened with the eye of Horus, which became part of the Christianity that spread in Egypt. In the context of the new religion, it turned into “the eye of the all-seeing God.” Basically, this symbol is found in Catholicism, although it can be seen on some Orthodox icons and churches. Subsequently, the sign began to be used by Freemasons, for whom it turned into the “Radiant Delta,” reminiscent of the all-pervasiveness of the Creator.

Despite the widespread belief that the “All-Seeing Eye” was placed on the dollar by the Freemasons, there is no evidence to suggest that this was the case. According to the memoirs of the creators themselves, the “eye” symbolizes the omnipotence of God, who oversees the new state and the order it has adopted.

Owl, spider and skull

If you look closely, you can see a miniature owl perched on the frame framing the unit. According to historian Alfred Siegert, it appeared on the banknote after the Great Depression and Nixon's abandonment of the gold standard. Economists joke: “Until the owl is removed, we won’t see an increase in the exchange rate.”

In general, the owl on the dollar has many faces. Some people see in it a spider, which, according to the designers’ idea, “weaved a web around the unit,” others just a bunch of lines, and some manage to see pirate symbols there – a skull and two crossed bones. According to the official version, the “owl” has no symbolic meaning.
