The Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill

If you would like to learn about the secret symbols of the dollar bill in an easy to read format then this is a great book to own. The author explains the origins of the $ symbol. The author explains the origins of the Great Seal (which is on the dollar bill). The author explains the numerology behind the dollar bill's symbols.

Get out your magnifying glass and a dollar bill and have some fun. David Ovason has succeeded in setting forth many strange and wondrous facts about the "ordinary" U.S. dollar bill. There is indeed a lot of amazing symbolism and numerology, much of it Masonic or perhaps Rosicrucian, on this Federal Reserve Note (by the way, I have to point out that the Fed Bank is privately owned, a fact omitted by Ovason). The author seems not to know that the Masons are anti-Christian; he never mentions the Rosicrucians (who are pro-Christian), but finds the magical number 33 in several places on the dollar bill, which corresponds with the number of years Jesus is said to have lived on Earth. Occasionally he fails to follow through on some of his discoveries; for example, so what if there are 55 dots and 25 lines in the "glory" surrounding the "constellation" over the eagle on the obverse? Ovason does not point out the numerological significance, if there is any, to 55 and 25. An oddity is that in item 30, on page 37, he mentions the official design for the national flag to have 13 stars, and yet the book is illustrated on this page with a flag of 12 stars. Then, the idea that the constellation Lyra, the Lyre, somehow represents America is questionable; since Lyra in fact has only 10 stars (although Ovason never mentions this fact). Some of his straightedge tricks, on page 75 e.g., do not seem to work out in the real world. He makes an interesting point or two that tend to confirm that the numerology was deliberately designed into the bill and is not just a figment of some modern numerologist's overheated imagination: for example, he says the old Latin motto was properly "Ex pluribus unum," which was modified to the less usual usage of "E pluribus unum" to achieve the count of 13 letters in the motto; similarly "Novus ordo saeclorum" was modified to the less usual "Novus ordo seclorum" to achieve the count of 17 letters for numerological reasons that he goes on to explain. Ovason has discovered that there are 33 words or groups of numbers on the obverse (p 115; be sure to count the tiny number, usually overlooked, to the "southeast" of the big ONE), and that there are nine "units" to the large word "ONE" with 11 shadow units, numerologically significant numbers. What makes this convincing to me (not mentioned by Ovason) is the fact that the two smallest shadow units are totally unnecessary to the artistic design, in fact they are obtrusive once you notice them (they look a bit like apostrophes, and you would probably not notice them if you were not looking for them), so they have to have been deliberately planted into the pattern. (It is too bad the designer of the 1935 dollar bill, Edward M. Weeks, evidently never set forth in writing the symbolism he went to such lengths to put into his product.) On page 114 he says the letters USA appear on the back of the dollar bill 26 times; what he means is that the letters U, S and A taken separately appear 26 times in

Having spent decades researching and depicting elements of America's Great Seal in my paintings and murals, and also writing and teaching about these symbols, I can say without question that David Ovason has created THE most profound work on this topic ever to see the light of day. His scholarship and genius in The Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill are unparalleled in this most under-appreciated and misunderstood area of America's history and meaning. It has shed great light on the deeper mysteries of America's spirit and destiny and the New Order of the Ages. Ovason is an excellent scholar and does not present speculation as fact. When he is not 100% sure of something, he tells you, which is greatly appreciated. Among other things, this book will tell you in what ways Sir Francis Bacon's New Atlantis was linked to the colonization of America... What magical symbols are found on the dollar bill... The origin of the word dollar... The origin of the symbol for the dollar... How the original dollar name can be linked with a holy number... Whether the dollar symbol was derived from astrology... Who were the Freemasons that designed the dollar bill of 1935... Why the eye in the triangle in the dollar bill was changed from a right eye to a left eye... The origin of America's name and why the letter A is among the most magical of all letters. Did the designers and proposers of these magical symbols know what they were doing? Were they aware of their magical content? Read this book and decide for yourself.
