I have heard that there are suppose to be a number of different objects such as a snake hidden within the detailing on the back of a $1 bill of US Currency. Does anyone know what other objects are contained in the pattern detailing on the back of the currency?

I have been able to find, what looks like two ships at the bottom of the $5 on the back side where the words FIVE DOLLARS is spelled out in the designs of the bushes below the Lincoln Memorial.

I am just curious to know if anyone else has found anything

  1. papa smurf appears on top of the pyramid if you pee on a dollar bill then hold it under black light.


  2. All I know is that you can fold the bills a certain way to make a picture relating to 9-11.

  3. I know that if you fold the older 20 dollar bill a certain way you'll be able to see the image of the World Trade Centers ablaze. It's really freaky.

  4. in the $5, in the huge purple five it says the united states of america in tiny white letters

    $100- there's really tiny words on the lapel of Ben Franklin

    the $1 bill has spiderwebs in it some where around one of the '1's I can't remember which one

  5. Enhanced security features are being added to make U.S. paper money harder to counterfeit and easier for cash handlers and consumers to check.

    On the new $5 bill, there are now two watermarks. A large number “5” watermark is located to the right of the portrait in place of the previous watermark portrait of President Lincoln. A second watermark – a column of three smaller “5”s – has been added to the new design and is located to the left of the portrait.

    On the $20, $50 and $10 denominations, the color-shifting ink on the number indicating the bill’s denomination in the lower-right corner on the face of the bill has been enhanced to produce a more dramatic shift in color, from copper to green, when the bill is tilted. Previously, the color shifted from green to black. The new $5 bill, however, does not include color shifting ink in the bill’s new design features.

    The most obvious change to the redesigned U.S. currency is the addition of color. The new $5 bill has background colors of purple and gray. Subtle background colors of orange, yellow and red were added to the new $10 bill. The $50 bill features blue and red background colors, and the $20 bill features background colors of blue, peach and green.

    Denomination-specific American symbols of freedom are also featured on the face of each new bill. The new $5 bill features The Great Seal of the United States (an eagle and shield) surrounded by an arc of purple stars located to the right of the portrait of President Lincoln. The $20 bill features a large blue eagle in the background to the left of President Jackson’s portrait and a smaller green metallic eagle to the lower right of the portrait. A field of blue stars appears to the left of President Ulysses S. Grant’s portrait on the new $50 bill and to his right are a small metallic-blue star and an American flag waving in the background. The $10 bill features two images of the Statue of Liberty‘s torch, and also includes the words "We the People" from the U.S. Constitution printed in red to the right of the portrait.

    Small yellow number “20”s are printed in the background on the back of the $20 bill and small yellow number “50”s are printed in the background on the back of the $50 bill. On the $10 and $5 bills, small yellow number “10”s and “05”s, respectively, are printed across both the front and back of the bill.

    On each bill, the oval borders surrounding the portrait on the face of the bill and the vignette scene on the back have been removed from the design, with minor enhancements made to the engraving.
