The reasoning for it being an owl is because so many statesmen have been involved with secret societies that use the owl as a symbol (just search on "Bohemian Grove") But, it makes more sense to me that it's a spider, given the webbing around the border, and it looks more like a spider to me, too, if you've got a good magnifying glass. About the cocaine, that's true. For that explanation, I'll defer to <a href="http://www.snopes.com/business/money/cocaine.asp" rel="nofollow">snopes.com</a>: <blockquote> In one 1985 study done by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on the money machines in a U.S. Federal Reserve district bank, random samples of $50 and $100 bills revealed that a third to a half of all the currency tested bore traces of cocaine. Moreover, the machines themselves were often found to test positive, meaning that subsequent batches of cash fed through them would also pick up cocaine residue. </blockquote> But only a small fraction of the bills have come into direct contact with the real drug stash...it's the bank counting machines that are the real reason as many as four out of five bills in your wallet have traces of coke...

But only a small fraction of the bills have come into direct contact with the real drug stash…it’s the bank counting machines that are the real reason as many as four out of five bills in your wallet have traces of coke…

And I was told it was an eagle! Spider, eagle, what's the difference. ;) Hmmm…. And I was told it was an eagle! Spider, eagle, what’s the difference. ;)

I actually have a dollar bill sitting on my desk and was able to see the spider. Not to change the subject but I did hear one time that there are traces of cocaine on every $100 bill. Do you know anything about this? This is quite fascinating. I actually have a dollar bill sitting on my desk and was able to see the spider.
