U.S. dollar bill folding tricks

Besides the use of United States dollar bills as currency, you can find other, more unconventional uses for them, such as folding them (origami) to make all sorts of shapes and forms, including shirts, baskets, fish and even a toilet.^[1] Illusionists can also utilize them when performing “magic,” such as in the well-known self-folding dollar bill trick.

Even better, you can use your pareidolia (and paranoia) on freshly printed greenbacks to reveal hidden images possibly suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job, orchestrated by the government.

History and images

The first time this was published on the Internet was on May 9, 2002 at Allbrevard.com. According to the backstory, five days prior, one of the webmasters discovered that folding a new (September 1998 redesign) $20 bill in a certain way would reveal pictures eerily similar to the World Trade Center and Pentagon ablaze, while at a NASCARparty. (What he smoked remains unknown, nor why he was at a NASCAR party.) Five days later, a web page was put up without any initial expectations, but after posting a message on a user newsgroup, the whole thing spread like wildfire. Within ten days, the site had received over one million hits, eventually leading to Glenn Beck putting it on his show and website, eight days after Allbrevard’s creation, which in turn led to the discovery of more hidden images in dollar bills of lower and higher denominations. This is usually coupled with the fact that you have to ultimately fold the bill into an airplane to see the picture and/or that the folded bill has five sides, like the Pentagon.

Without further ado, let the decoding begin:

[edit]20-dollar bill

The initial discovery and source of shock and awe.

1. Fold a $20 bill in half, so that you see the top half of the reverse side (like this.)
2. Fold the left half away from you, as shown here.
3. Fold the right half so that the burning Pentagon is revealed (see here.)
4. Flip the bill over to see the World Trade Center, surrounded by smoke. (presto!)
5. Or just mash it a bit and get this. 9 + 11 = 20 (The date of 9/11, twenty dollar bill), and see Osama.

[edit]1-dollar bill

($1 bill must be not too new and not too old) Hold dollar bill with pyramid and eagle facing you. fold eagle behind the pyramid. If folded exactly in half the two circles will align on top of each other and touching on both sides. Hold up to an old light bulb to see the face of Baphomet come through the pyramid side. (The eyes will come through in the two circular clouds just below the eye on the pyramid).

[edit]5-dollar bill

Repeat the same steps. The result is the Pentagon before the attacks.

[edit]10-dollar bill

Repeat the same steps again. The result is the Twin Towers on fire.

[edit]50-dollar bill

And again. This time, you get the building collapsing.

[edit]100-dollar bill

All you get this time around is a bunch of smoke, which looks more like someone played around with the MSPaint airbrush tool. Just a bunch of smoke, presumably a result of a fallen building, perhaps after being hit with an airplane. When was this dollar bill made? Well before 9/11. So what is with the Twin Towers, in a mass of smoke?
