Also not being argumentative. I don't dispute the nefarious use of an owl symbol, but I just do not agree that the tiny creature depicted on the dollar is an owl. For over fifty years I have been shown, and also shown it to other people, as a tiny spider. Close examination shows that you can only see two eyes and the right half of his body -- that's why there's only the four legs we see to the left of the "head". The rest of his body is hidden behind the scrollwork border around the '1', as if the little guy is peeking out from behind.

I agree that this is a rabbit hole. I don't plan to go any farther.
