I think everyone who is bashing this site is crazy. It's not trying to do anything bad, it's just a really neat coincidence. It's a great way to remember what happened and is really neat. It's not sick at all. You all have too much time on your hands if you really think this is that bad of a deal...By the way, please excuse my grammer, spelling, and rambling a little bit. It was late when I wrote this

Someone mentioned a while ago about 'hidden images' of the Twin Towers being in new $20s and I didn't know what they were talking about. So I did a search and found your site. In no way do I believe this indicates some kind of conspiracy by our Government, but I do think that it's really ironic, fairly interesting, yet sad and upsetting all at once. To find this 'image' by folding the bill is interesting, but for those people trying to make it out to be a Government conspiracy, and spouting those views to others, perhaps those who lost a friend or loved one in the tragedies, is upsetting. These people have been through enough. Though I believe that your website isn't meant to exploit this tragedy, just to share this odd bit of information with others, this site has to attract those conspiracy theory X-Files type people, and that's scary. It's still interesting though, just by folding a bill you get those images. Something to think about at least.

Who is making our money? It sounds like the government needs to look deeper and see what people we have working for them.


Kami

After reading all the opinions I think-- no I am positive this country of ours has lost all hope of being normal again. Where oh where did the brick fall off the truck? Are there no sane people left , for Gods sake IT'S JUST A WEB SITE and I for one enjoyed it.

jerry

I enjoyed your site whose address I got from an article in The Post Standard, re: The New York Times, I am in Syracuse, NY.

Far out (anyone remember that expression?). This is fun, especially the way in which most contributors show off their lack of intelligence via their comments. Thank you publik edukashun. And is the fiat-currency-folding trick a coincidence? Wanna' really get a shocking dose of reality? Visit informamerica.com. (No, I won't make a penny off this plug.) Get informed, citizens...

I think the 9/11 tragedy is terrible. the jury is still out if this was caused by the government or some other rogue international organization, such as the illumnati, the bilderbergs, the trilateral commission, the rothchilds, the men in black, etc., I believe someone in the government wanted to warn us and encoded the message in our currency once they got wind of this disaster. This individual has probably now been terminated by a special operation. Or the government knew and wanted this tragedy to put forth more government control into our lives, little by little............so one day we wake up and we're in a police state. Don't discount this idea so fast young butterfly, since our freedoms have been slowly eroding since the year 1900. I give you the federal reserve bank, the income tax, and many laws that have cut back our freedoms in so many ways. One man's safety is another man's encroachment on freedom. America, just keep your eyes open, keep your mind open to all possibilities, love your family, love your creator, and all this international intrigue will someday work itself out, and it too shall pass. God Bless, and thanks to those of who figured out this encoded message.

I just ask that everyone who writes to this website please use the correct grammar, the correct spelling, and other types of punctuation. Yes, this means you. Please, put down the bottle and the crack pipe, and write a decent sentence, thank you. This is still America, and we were not founded by a bunch of ingrates!

HFT

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the federal government knew about this accident before it occurred, possibly pearl harbor too; they have always wanted a new world order, a one world government, one world currency, and one world federal reserve bank, etc., there will be more attacks like this one..........the more attacks, the more the people will want the government to protect them, and then the government will put more restrictions on our valuable american freedoms......martial law may be imposed some day in the future, and God forbid, if an atomic bomb goes off in one of our cities......there may be deportations too and the confiscation of money and property. Some conspiracy theorists will say this is the eventual plan. Some of the conspiracy theorists have been found mysteriously killed too, or brought up on false charges of some sort to discredit them. The folding of the bill is deep indeed. Those of you who write this off cavalierly have your head in the sand. American currency and the engraving thereof if a very sophisticated process, and NOTHING IS LEFT TO CHANCE!! Every angle, every nuance, every shade of color, everything, is looked into before releasing our money. The secret society of the masons are alive and well in this country, and they always liked cryptic messages, such as the eye over the pyramid on the $1 bill. Thus, they may be behind this one too, as a warning to us. My other theory is that someone in our government wanted to warn us about this, and tried to do so with our money supply. So those of you who look for symbolism in all things, who seek the unexplainable, who try to understand our modern day environment, the country needs you and keep looking for signs of any kind! Report them at will, and let the people decide. I think the currency situation is valid.

CH

: I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS SITE, AND FIND IT VERY DEEP AND INTERESTING. I AM A REPUBLICAN AND VOTED FOR BUSH, AND AM PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENT FOR DEALING WITH THIS TRAGEDY. I DON'T THINK THAT GORE WOULD OF DONE ANY BETTER. HOWEVER, I THINK THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND DON'T LIKE TO CONTEMPLATE ANYTHING IF IT IS NOT LOGICAL ARE DOING YOURSELF AND POSSIBLY OUR COUNTRY A DISSERVICE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PAGES OF COMMENTS, AND IF THIS WAS DONE OR PLANNED BACK IN 1996 - DON'T BLAME BUSH!! BLAME PRESIDENT CLINTON, BECAUSE WASN'T HE THE PRESIDENT BACK THEN???? HMMMM???? SO IF THIS WAS A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT CLINTON AND HILLARY CONSPIRED OR KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW. BUSH SIMPLY WON THE PRESIDENCY AND POSSIBLY INHERITED THIS EVIL PLOT AS HATCHED BY CLINTON AND HILLARY ALL THE OTHER LIBERAL GLOBALISTS. OUR NEW CURRENCY WAS DESIGNED UNDER THE CLINTON PRESIDENCY AND HE WAS A DEMOCRAT AFTER ALL, WHICH IS FOR BIG GOVERNMENT AND BIG BROTHER! YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE, DON'T ALL DEMOCRATS THINK THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KNOWS BEST ON ALL ISSUES?? THINK ABOUT IT.

I think that it is important that people understand that the image you see in the folded $20 is mearly a resemblance to the world trade center disaster. I agree that it is striking, and my emotions hint at what I felt on sept. 11th. I can understand why people are offended by this website, and why some find it amusing, and some find it morally life changing. For me, this is one of those things you regard as amazing and interesting, but then it moves out of the lime light. Life goes on. there is no physical proof that allows us to go pointing fingers at the government or the treasury dept. They are NOT the ones to blame for sept. 11. Those people who believe that this revealing $20 oragami is one big conspiracy have called 1-800-MISS-CLEO too many times.

Timothy

Comments: I find it amusing to read all the comments left by others. It is quite funny to see how under-educated many Americans are. As civilians, we have no say in what is printed on our money. That's why we pay government officials. Now granted, this is just a cool coincidence, but how often do we as a people actually stand up for what we believe in. If it takes a disaster like Sept. 11th to bring us together, then how simple will it be to tear us apart. Through websites like these the news is spread - not to anger a person, but to inform them and make them think. We should not be dwelling on Sept. 11th. We should be working towards new ideas to keep another attack like Sept. 11th from happening.

AMY

I'm confused as to how this would actually prove, or even hint at, government foreknowledge. Even if you assumme they *did* know years in advance, why would they then design bills with these images? Wouldn't they want to *hide* signs that they knew in advance?

Christine

I think the $20 bill thing is kind of creepy and weird. But that's all. For all those complaining, I have but one comment: Chill out!! You're acting as if this guy murdered someone. If you could transfer your angry energy to something more productive, the world would be a better place.

Jim

hello morons ,you know which replies are yours so don't go who me? this is not some divine prophecy of the attack nor is it a code signal in some international conspiracy plot
1) god does not exist so that rules out any sort of divine crap
2) sometime a coincidence is just that and nothing more, that is all this is (and a cool one at that)
And as for you s*** eaters that think it is OH SO WRONG to capitalize on this and other tragedies i would like to take this time to remind you that blatant capitalization of anything and everything is what has made this country what it is today if it wasn't for good ol' down home capitalizing we would just be the biggest f***ing province in the British empire

scott

Well, someone has WAY to much time on thier hands, but I must admit that there is an errie conincidence about this. Makes you begin to wonder who is in charge of our money. Fox, Scully, any ideas?

RH

Man, this is crazy...you shouldn't be allowed to put a website up like this when I don't have access of anything larger than a quarter...is there anything I can do with a quarter to see? I have to come to the library to get on the Internet just to see this whack stuff...I would like to see the Trade Center for myself but do not have a twenty dollar bill...at the store the other day I asked the cashier if I could borrow a twenty for a few minutes and they just looked at me like I was crazy...same thing at the bank I visited! Can you please send me a $20 so I can see for myself with a self addressed stamped envelope so I can return it to you the same day? I would appreciate it very much..

As an englishman the September the 11th events hit us over here almost as hard. My dad was actually on an American Airways fight heading towards Washington and we heard nothing from him for hours. This site is not a discrace but it's some people pointing out a coincidence. I have to laugh as some of the conspiracy theorys though. I've been twisting and folding a 20 pound note for hours trying to predict the future over here!

Tommy

Hey whats up I think this was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Get a life you stupid Idiot. You have to be a freaken retard to think this is that cool.

I think this is all weird. But you can't deny all that you see. It was in the DesMoines Register and my husband told me about it. We tried it and sure enough it was there,-(I'm a see it to believe it kind of girl)- anyway, maybe it is some kind of code imbedded in our money, just like the codes in the Holy scriptures. Funny how everybody was clamouring for God right after the tragedy happened, now everyone is just back to usual maybe that's what got us into trouble in the first place-just a thought. Anyone who is offended by you needs HELPPPP!!! People always need something to be upset at...don't they. I think the fact that this all is a controversy makes it all the more real. If it wasn't there nobody would be talking would they. Keep uncovering mysteries...we'll be watching!

Shari

Comments: This theory is so stupid that it is pathetic! Why would the government bother with that sort of thing? YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS!!! yeah, you can fold a whole bunch of other stuff to get pictures as well. And some clouds are shaped like various things. Does that mean that the government conspired to generate these things? no! They are too wrapped up on their self-gain and keeping the majority happy.

Hi everyone, I think that the coincidences are intresting. There are so many! The whole $20 bill thing, then there is the one where u enter in the date into a word pad, highlight, and change font to 'wingdings' and it changes to an airplane, two towers, davids star & a skull. Then 9/11 = 911. There are tons and tons, but those of you that are warping the people that find them amusing into some inpatriotic, horrible people need to think again. Peace to everybody, Bye!

Amy

Quite a discovery. Too bad it was not seen prior to 9/11/01 and could somehow have helped us prevent that awful occurrence. Is there something we can do to prevent such a thing in the future? Is it possible to wipe out terrorism? Or is the explosion in NYC and the blowing up of poeple into bits in Palestine and Israel meant to pull our attention away from the vanities of American culture and point us to a desperate call for help in the Middle East? Who in their right mind would do the things that happened on 9/11/01 and are happening in Palestine/Israel today? These people must be totally desperate. They have pulled us in because we have the ability to help shape the future (a future beyond the simplicity of Hollywood and cheeseburgers and the greed of an already prosperous nation).


Doug

It seems to me that someone with too much time on their hands, and an avid MAD Magazine reader figured this one out!
WHAT ME WORRY???????!!!!!!!!!

sar

C'mon folks, get a grip. Even God had a sense of humor. If you don't think so, take off your shoes and socks and get a good look at your feet......funniest things I ever saw. I think this site is wonderful and should be acknowledged, not chastised. Bless you all!

Jere

if anyone bothered to actually look at what the maintainers of this website said, you would see that they consider it nothing more than a weird coincidence. it's a party trick. and a good one.

The wtc and the pentagon is a coincidence on the twenty dollar bill, but before the wtc and the pentagon was attacked the president got the twenty dollar bill sent in the mail to him folded like that, but he didn't know what it was or what it meant, as you can guess the terrorist sent it, I thought they were pretty smart for thinking of that or just finding it. But it didn't help us any. Big things come in small packages.


Ali

I think this is amazing. I have never seen anything like it before in my life. If you take the 10 dollar bill, and fold it the same way, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge. I hope that the next target isn't that.

People,... even if the government had known anything about 9/11,... can someone please tell me what there was to gain by putting this on the new bills? It is obviously a coincidence found by someone with far too much time on their hands.

Come on, it's really doesn't make any sense to think that the government knew the attacks were coming and put it on the new currency in a hidden message. Just look at the uncanny resemblence. What's so uncanny about it? The fact that the smoke looks almost exactly the same as the picture? Do you think the government controls the way smoke billows and the way wind blows? Oh wait, it must have been God. Right? Yeah, maybe it was Santa or the Easter Bunny or the Loch Ness Monster. I bet they were all in on it.


JY

If we but take a moment to digest and logically think through the similarities between currency and tragedy, we begin to discover that this illusion (if it is one) cannot be reduced to a gross misappropiation of image; rather, the internalization of events leads us to an apt mimetic appropriation of image. Perhaps we can liken the images to that of the Gestaltist rendering of the rabbit/duck. At one moment, our conscious thought leads us to see a duck. At another moment, we see a rabbit. Never do we see both at the same time. Such is the case with our currency. We THINK we see the Twin Towers, always and forever a tragedy, but what is really there is an image and only an image. We create that image's identity through what we know. That LEAP to the assumed, however, allows us certain beliefs. Our terministic screen renders the image to be what we will it to be. Foolhardy? Perhaps. Sick? No. Willed into being? Always.

Lord help us. The rednecks have figured out how to use a computer.

I want to respond to all of the anger on this page. First of all, I do not think that the creators of this web site are using this tactic to make $$ or promote business. They are merely using this page as a way to showcase this neat trick. It happens to be an interesting litte thing and I, for one (as well as the two million other people who clicked on this) am glad that I got to see it. So, stop being so self righeous and loosen up a bit!

Jenna

I just have to comment on the idiot who made a comment about drunck rednecks watching nascar in the trialor parks - that guy has the balls to call somoeone else an idiot and he can't even spell! The mistakes I quoted are only the beginning.

Alison

I saw a feature about this in the Boston Globe online. I must say that it's kinda weird but interesting.

This whole thing is just a coincidence. Our enemies didn't come up with an attack on our country based on an image that can be seen on our currency. The whole thing is kind of freaky, but when you think of all of the lives that were lost on 9/11, it seems kind of selfish to dedicate a website to a visual image which recalls the darkest day in American history.

I can't explain the eerie coincidence, but I certainly don't understand all of the negative comments about it - all of us suffered 9-11; some much, much more than others - but we are all in this together - so we need to do just that - band together and redirect our anger towards terrorism! To the person that said buying drugs is contributing to terrorism is BS - I will pray for your soul - and to the person that said that Americans thought that this could never happen to them, obviously you are not an American!!! We always knew that there was evil in the world - only now, sadly, we have come to find out just how much. THANK GOD for a praying President! WE are America - home of the FREE and the brave - love it or leave it!!!

DK

bar trick, hoax, or pure BS. Anything that is even a slight reminder to all of us who in daily life forget the thousands dead is a memorial. so stop talking money and talk lives, it matters to alot of people and this as trivial as it is keeps it fresh in our minds.

Laurie

You guys are the sickest bunch of f***s I've ever come across, equalled only by the christian freak (Ventura County Jevenile Court) who proclaimed himself a saint yet lacked the grammatical and spelling skills to even get his message across properly. Parlor trick or marketing tool... it was and is indeed in the poorest taste and a thoroughly indecent testament to the memory of those murdered. And I'm not even an American.

jarrod

I don't really care what this site is about. I lost family and friends in the WTC tragedy. However, this site does provide much humor. I especially like the people who have complaint about the conspiracy crap and stating that the currency was designed years before 9.11.01
Just a quick question to 'those' scholars. Do you know the definition of conspiracy? In case you don't, it's when a plan is made prior to the event or wrongful act. Which means printing these 'hidden' images on the currency, a la MAD Magazine, would be a way to send a message BEFORE 9.11.01
Now, in my opinion, I think everyone should continue to search for the hidden date (9.11.01) in the foldings. LOL :-)

paul

Here's another: When the $20 was designed, you know when they hired the artist to make the etchings on the metal plates, the twin towers were not even thought of, so I say to you again........you've a hell of an imagination. Why don't you use it to invent something usefull !!!!!! hell, you might even make some money!!!!

AAF

You gotta have a really creative imagination to say there is a pic of the Pentagon on the $20 bill. It's the white house, and no matter how you bend the damned thing, it's still the white house!!! Hello....anybody there.....I suggest having a good old fashioned BBQ, some apple pie and some Samuel Adam's beer! If that doesn't cure you, then you should give up your citizenship, change your name and move to europa!!! hello!!! good day. AAF

AAF

i personally think that its sad that someone had enough time on their hands to figure out something so sick on a $20 bill. it was a tragic event that hurt many, many people with tragic losses and they shouldn't be reminded of them when they look at a $20, $10 or any kind of currency that we use. this site is sick and all you who get a kick out of this are really pathetic and have no feelings or compassion for ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!

stefany

this 20 dollar bill thing was pretty cool and pretty creepy. i see so many people have fallen into the plans of the evil doers by basically saying the person who made this site should shut his mouth and by offending everyone with name calling. yeah sure forget the fact that one major point of the tragedy is because they hate us for our freedoms, which they dont have. we have the right to free speech etc etc.... how do u think the person who discovered this felt? i would have wet my pants. yes to remember does hurt but to forget hurts more. this website brought alot of people together. and you know what? i thought about 9-11 a little longer today. i hope i dont forget. and if it takes something like this to be reminded of it... so be it... keep the site. respect and love each other and remember those who died.

Kristi

It is interesting to note that the only way to see to see the pictures on the back of the currency is to fold like a paper airplane. What was used in the attacks? AIRPLANES ALSO in order to see the smoke in the picture two BUSHES had to be folded together. Why was TEMPORARY , George W.'s secret society nickname, not in Washington on September 11?

Michael

I think that some of the people who send in comments need to learn how to spell. They are usually the ones making the rude remarks! Dictionary anyone?

Becca

I think what people have found oit is NOT a conspiracy, only bored people coming up with interesting things to anger, trouble, or please people. to me, what they found our is very neat!!!

This website is a joke! I am a FireFighter Paramedic and I don't think this $20 dollar bill gag is funny. I lost many good brothers and sisters on the tragic date of Sept.11th. I don't think this is funny and you people should be ashamed of yourselves. Making jokes at other peoples expenses. Pure Garbage and Greed. Get a life. Thank You

CK

People!! Give the guy a break! WOW! I went through the website and at no time I saw any references to the $20 bill being a premonition, a sign from the Universe, God or anything else... this site was started as a simple way to share a trick, THAT'S ALL!! It is morronic seeing sooo many people getting so angry at this guy for doing nothing but sharing something he saw and thought was amazing. PERIOD!! Maybe you are the ones who need to get a life and let anyone who wants to come see this site do so, do the trick and move on... don't be soooo dramatic!


JGC

To say the least, I saw, took note and moved on. conspiricies are everywhere people regardless of race, nations or creed, if not so would there be worldly peace.
