[QUOTE="jlblonde, post: 1240260, member: 32000"]Since the late 1980's, I've been studying the occult, secret societies, and general symbolism in ancient and modern societies. I assume we are all familiar with the American dollar and so forth, but not much has been mentioned about coinage. I'd like to introduce this discussion to help me further my research and eventually publish my thesis on the subject. Basically, "Who, What, Where, How and Why" were these images placed on coins. Do coins actually reflect man's (human's) image of himself, his ideas, his accomplishments and his destiny or are they just coincidence? Is there a push to influence thought by subliminal symbolism? Are the coins and currency we carry in our pockets, wallets, and purses a kind of symbolic good luck charm? Or is it a means of keeping us initiated on the lowest degrees of some secret knowledge without our knowing about it? We tend to put a lot of emphasis on other forms of art such as sculptures, music, paintings and the like, but I believe the art on money of all types actually represents man at his current state of thought in which ever time period we find him in. Example: [ATTACH]132783.vB[/ATTACH] Coin from Paraguay. Lion of Judah with a Phrygian cap on a pike. circa 1950's[/QUOTE]
