We highlight one of his videos each week in The E-Sylum. Here's one from 2009 with Carl Schwenker speaking about the symbology of the U.S. dollar bill. -Editor

 

Who ever looks at a dollar bill? Besides George Washington's obvious portrait you may be intrigued by all the other imagery. Learn what these mean including the Great Pyramid, the "all seeing eye", the heraldic eagle and much more. Included in this presentation is a touching tribute by presenter Carl Schwenker to fellow numismatist and friend Francis Townsend who recently passed away.

Speaker: Carl Schwenker. December 15, 2009.
