Why is that on my dollar bill ?

[MD Dog]

I was told to look at my dollar bill today, with a magnifying glass. On the face side, in the upper right hand corner there is a 1 surrounded by a sheild sort of. In the top left of that sheild sits an owl,

No one really knows. So "they" say.

Hoot hoot hoot...

Very interesting stuff. The owl is loaded with symbolism. Glad someone finally brought this up.

i think it is a anti-counterfeiting strategy personally

I had always heard that was spider and he made the web on the dollar bill but I could never find the damn thing when I went to show that to someone, did you also know that on every bill there is a micro-print like try this take a $20 a new $20 and look on the bottom left right at the top of the number 20 in mirco-print it says "The United States Of America 20 U.S.A 20 U.S.A" On the 10's and 5's I believe its on the collar check it out

It's all anti-counterfeiting. It's called microprinting. There are several examples of it on every bill.

There are also alignment tricks. When you hold bills up to the light, certain parts on both sides line up with each other that don't on counterfeits.

Wow someone was bored enough yesterday to haul this old thread outta the garbage can huh ? Well I'm game to rehash it since it never really got much play to start with. Try this put a twenty dollar bill in your microwave and set it on high for 1 minute. you'll notice it burns in one particular area. now try it on another $20 and you'll see it burns in the exact same location. the reason RFID.

That's no owl its an alien look at the almond shaped eyes

A coworker told me about that one some time ago. He thought that it's supposedly a spider that had woven the webbing around the framing border.
Along the bottom border under the words TREASURER of the US and Secretary of the TREASURY on the U.S. one dollar bill looks to me like an owl symbol within some black triangle shaped backgrounds.
If you notice closer that the frames around the number "1's" on the bills front four corners are shaped differently on the left and right side. The upper right frame is a masculine phallic shape pointing downwards towards an feminine orifice shaped frame.
If you make an accordion type fold in the right places between the two framed 1's on the right hand side you then can show a smutty joke to your friends representing copulation in M/F sex.
Therefore the spider is more likely a crab instead.
In gradeschool i remember you can make another zig/zag fold of George Washingtons portrait and make it into a mushroom also. His scalp being folded over on top of the shirt portion displayed.
