		The dollar sign, like The Great Seal of the United States, which was designed by Charles Thomson, another Freemason and secretary at the signing of The Declaration of Independence, is a freemasonic creature or device which is endowed with occult significance, even though it is publicly displayed to us, "the profane", as Freemasons call us.
		Since we know who devised the dollar sign and chose it to symbolize the dollar, its significance becomes apparent, exactly as the upside-down pentacle was adopted to symbolize the satanic presence in The Congressional Medal of Honor.

	The Continental "Dollar" - Introduction
		The first four emissions of Continental paper currency from May 10, 1775, through May 6, 1776, included a dollar bill, but the one dollar denomination was missing from the next six emissions and does not reappear until the last regular emission of Continental paper currency from January 14, 1779.

		Indeed, Robert Morris, the Superintendant of Finance during the Confederation period, appears not to have known of the Continental Dollars as he called his 1783 Nova Constellation patterns the first that were, "struck as an American Coin." (Morris, Diary for April 2, 1783).

		The first silver dollars issued by the United States were minted in 1794 using the flowing hair design common to the half-dime and half-dollar denominations also struck that year and similar to the designs used the preceding year for the minting of half-cent and one-cent coinage.
		This flowing hair design represented a significant departure from the 1776 colonial dollar prototype often referred to as the “Continental Dollar.” Instead of continuing with that style, the early mint engravers chose to model the new dollars after the portrait depicted on the “Libertas Americana” medal.
		As a result, the dollars of 1794 were minted in a very small quantity, and today they are very rare and highly prized, and, consequently, very expensive.

		Some people consider the first U.S. pattern to be the 1776 Continental Dollar struck in silver and/or in brass, the pewter version being the regular issue for the denomination.
