[5]
currency in the world but few actually
[7]
take a moment to contemplate the reasons
[9]
behind these markings and the secrets
[11]
they are hiding stay tuned as we take
[13]
you through an in-depth look at the most
[14]
significant hidden secrets in this often
[16]
overlooked piece of paper if you're not
[18]
skin then now's the time to whip out
[20]
your cash and send it to me I mean
[22]
follow along a bad thing let's start off
[28]
with the one dollar note its obverse or
[30]
front side has many similar symbols that
[32]
are carried forward two notes of other
[34]
values let's also point out the obvious
[36]
this is the signature of the treasurer
[38]
of the United States as indicated
[40]
underneath and this is the signature of
[42]
the Secretary of the Treasury in case
[44]
you can't follow the pattern this
[46]
marking indicates what year that
[47]
particular dollar sign originated and
[49]
just above it is the Treasury Department
[51]
seal which authenticates the note on
[53]
closer inspection you'll notice a
[55]
balance which indicates justice a key
[58]
which indicates trust and an inverted V
[60]
shaped known as a chevron which has 13
[62]
stars within it that number 13 is kind
[65]
of a recurring theme we'll explain it
[67]
soon just above this seal is the name of
[69]
the capitol city and just above that is
[71]
the unique serial number of that precise
[73]
note this number is also copied on the
[75]
opposite side of the note and at the
[77]
front of it is a letter the shrewdest
[79]
amongst you will notice that this letter
[80]
also features inside the seal above this
[83]
is the Federal Reserve seal if you're
[85]
interested in knowing which Federal
[86]
Reserve Bank printed your bill you can
[88]
either check out the writing at the
[90]
bottom of the seal find out from the
[91]
letter in the middle or refer to the
[93]
numbers scattered around the note the
[95]
letters and numbers correspond to
[97]
different locations as shown here pause
[99]
now to learn them in case one comes up
[101]
in a future general knowledge quiz right
[103]
above this is the obligation clause and
[105]
in the middle is good old George
[107]
Washington the first president this
[109]
picture was modeled off gilbert stuart's
[111]
portrait of him in 1796 but it was
[114]
reversed due to the engraving processes
[116]
the portrait is supported by bay laurel
[118]
leaves which represents status like back
[120]
in ancient greece and they also appear
[122]
to be budding indicating that the US is
[124]
yet to bloom the two last things are
[126]
these letters and numbers this one to
[128]
the left is called the node position
[130]
identifier indicating where on the plate
[132]
the note was print
[133]
and this one to the right is the face
[135]
plate number indicating the number of
[137]
the plate from which the bill was
[138]
printed so those are the pretty
[140]
standardized markings and other note
[142]
values have the same markings but
[144]
different figures appear in the middle
[145]
like Lincoln on the five-dollar bill and
[147]
Franklin on the $100 bill they're also
[150]
arranged slightly differently and have
[151]
some additional design details but these
[153]
symbols are the basis for the front side
[155]
of dollar notes on the reverse or back
[158]
side of the note you will notice that it
[159]
attempts to encapsulate the ideologies
[161]
of the new nation that the founding
[163]
fathers wanted to preserve following the
[164]
Declaration of Independence in the
[166]
center you'll see the official u.s.
[168]
motto In God We Trust that was adopted
[170]
in 1956 the two circles you see on
[173]
either side are the two halves which
[174]
make up the Great Seal
[175]
why are there two halves well back then
[177]
pendant seals which are basically wax
[179]
discs attached to official documents
[181]
with a cord were still widely used and
[183]
had a different design on either side
[185]
the details contained in each of these
[187]
designs are highly contested and all you
[189]
national treasure fans might dispute
[191]
everything I'm about to say let's start
[193]
with a heraldic Bald Eagle which you
[195]
also notice is printed in purple on the
[197]
five dollar bill in front of the ego is
[199]
an unsupported shield which symbolizes
[201]
the fledgling country's ability to stand
[202]
on its own the Eagle is biting on a
[204]
ribbon which has the phrase eople or of
[206]
a spoon 'm engraved upon it that means
[209]
out of many one in latin above the
[211]
eagle's head is a load of stars in
[213]
what's known as a glory a feature that's
[215]
made to look like it's bursting out of a
[216]
cloud symbolizing a new nation led by
[219]
God the Eagle is holding a set of arrows
[221]
showing its readiness to fight and an
[223]
olive branch which signifies peace the
[226]
fact that the eagle's head points
[227]
towards the olive branch signifies that
[229]
the US for first peace compared to
[231]
conflict now on to the other more
[233]
controversial seal the pyramid is meant
[236]
to represent strength and durability and
[237]
the floating eye called the Eye of
[239]
Providence is meant to represent the
[241]
Illuminati
[242]
I mean God watching over us seriously
[244]
does the eye is a pretty frequently used
[246]
symbol throughout history and is a
[248]
simple and effective way to represent
[250]
God so it most likely doesn't represent
[251]
a secret societies prevailing influence
[253]
the cap or triangle encasing the eye is
[256]
separated to symbolise that the United
[258]
States is still far from finished and
[260]
the Rising Sun behind it is supposed to
[262]
represent a new nation that has begun it
[265]
even leaves a shadow to the west
[266]
as back then that was the direction of
[268]
undiscovered lands the motto at the top
[270]
reads annuit coeptis meaning he has
[273]
favored our undertaking and the motto at
[275]
the bottom reads Novus Ordo seclorum
[277]
that's a Harry Potter spell well okay
[279]
it's not really it actually means a new
[281]
order of the ages don't get confused
[283]
into thinking it means a new world order
[285]
though because it actually signifies the
[287]
beginning of a new American era as of
[289]
the date of the Declaration of
[290]
Independence that date 1776 is inscribed
[294]
above in Roman numerals on the bottom
[296]
pyramid step by now you may be wondering
[298]
why these mottos were chosen or perhaps
[300]
you've noticed that we've missed a
[301]
couple things well remember what I said
[303]
about the number 13 I wasn't lying when
[305]
I said it was important this motto has
[308]
13 letters there are also 13 steps on
[310]
the pyramid and 13 pearls coming out of
[312]
the sealed on both sides the ribbon
[315]
motto has 13 letters the Eagle was
[317]
holding 13 arrows and the olive branch
[319]
has 13 leaves and 13 berries and there
[322]
are 13 stars above the eagle's head each
[325]
with 13 BMA's logos inside alright maybe
[328]
not the last one anyhow the number 13
[331]
was maybe a tiny bit special to the
[334]
founding fathers as it symbolizes the 13
[336]
original colonies now whilst most agree
[339]
that these markings make some sense
[341]
perhaps the oddest feature that has
[343]
conspiracy theorists drooling is this
[345]
owl or spider mark an owl mark would
[347]
symbolize the Illuminati and a spider
[349]
would fit with the web the background
[351]
theme both may seem plausible but sadly
[353]
there is an even better explanation for
[355]
this
[356]
after overlaying a transpose section of
[358]
the web from the bottom part of the bill
[359]
it is clear that this is just an
[361]
unintentional feature now that's pretty
[363]
much everything for the dollar bill but
[365]
what about other US dollar note values
[367]
well sadly there aren't as many cool
[369]
hidden symbols to talk about and we've
[370]
deliberately missed out certain design
[372]
features because we're considering
[373]
making another video on this so let us
[376]
know in the comments below if this is
[377]
something you'd like to see and if
[378]
you're a viewer from way in the future
[380]
there may be a follow up video on-screen
