Interesting Information about the dollar bill

First time I ever heard the story about why there's a six pointed star
on the dollar bill.

So Who Was Haym Solomon?

History from a $1 Bill-Fascinating! Read all the way to the bottom to
know about Haym Solomon.

On the rear of the One Dollar bill, you will see two circles. Together,
they comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental
Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up
with a Seal. It took those four years to accomplish this task and another
two years to get it approved.
If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.

Notice the face of the Pyramid is lighted, and the western side is dark.
This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the west
or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is
uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished.
Inside the Capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for
divinity. It was Franklin 's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but
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
of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)

If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will
learn that 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, and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments. Slightly
modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States, and it is
always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the
symbols mean.

The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:
First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough
to soar above it. Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just
broken from the King of England. Also, notice the shield is unsupported.
This country can now stand on its own. At the top of that shield you have
a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together
as one nation.

In the Eagle's beak you will read, 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' meaning,
'from many - one .'

Above the Eagle, you have the thirteen stars, representing the
thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding
rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch
and Arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid
to fight to preserve peace.. The Eagle always wants to face the olive
branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.

They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost
a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or
any hotels or motels with a 13th floor.

But 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 'Annuit Coeptis,'
13 letters in ' E Pluribus Unum,'
13 stars above the Eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,

13 fruits, and if you look closely,

13 arrows.

And finally, if you notice the arrangement of the 13 stars in the
right-hand circle you will see that they are arranged as a Star of
David. This was ordered by George Washington who, when he asked
Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as
a personal reward for his services to the Continental Army, Solomon
said he wanted nothing for himself but that he would like something
for his people. The Star of David was the result.

Few people know that it was Solomon who saved the Army through
his financial contributions but died a pauper. Haym Solomon gave
$25 million to the Continental Army, money that was extremely
important to our independence from England.

I always ask people, 'Why don't you know this?' Your children do NOT
know this, and their history teachers do NOT know this.

Too many veterans have given up too much to ever let the meaning
fade. Many veterans remember coming home to an America that did
NOT care. Too many veterans never came home at all..

I, for one, plan to share this page with everyone, so that they can learn
what is on the back of the UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL, and
what it stands for!
