Sunday 8/8/21
Celebrate Global Sleep Under the Stars Night. National CBD, Happiness Happens, Frozen Custard, Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbor's Porch, and Dollar Day.
Dollar Day commemorates the day Congress established the U.S. monetary system in 1786.
In 1862, the United States printed its first dollar bill with Salmon P. Chase, President Lincoln’s Secretary of Treasury on it.
Did you know that above the right number 1 on the face side of the dollar, a tiny bird peeks out. Whether it’s an owl, an eagle or another such bird is uncertain. Like other embedded items in the bill’s design, it fuels many conspiracy theories.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, the pyramid on the back fuels a few. It’s part of the Great Seal of the United States. However, the truth of the pyramid represents several things. You’ll find 13 steps on the pyramid equaling the 13 original colonies. The unfinished top represents a young country growing and expanding. Finally, the Eye of Providence includes the Latin motto Annuit Coeptis, which means, “It is favorable to our undertakings.”
