i've known about the spider. Someone once told me that there was also an owl on the one dollar bill too, but disappointingly it is just another interpretation of the spider next to the one. That explains why I could never find the dang owl.

[@tamielynne7374]

Yeah, I thought it was a spider until I saw everyone saying it's actually an owl. And a few have a picture of it magnified. It really does look like an owl and not a spider. And like he said in this video, it's just an urban legend about those being spider webs. They just put a bunch of things weird designs on it and our minds, are designed to find shapes and faces in things apparently. So we will see objects and designs, and think we see a face in it. Like pareidoila.

I was told that, not only will the higher quality colour copiers cancel the copy attempt of secure currency, they log it and report to Treasury or Interpol as long as they have internet access. There are also some tricks with folding certain notes to reveal secret new images but I can't recall exactly which. I hope you do more like this. It's fascinating.
