The Hex On American Money

The hexagram (Seal of Solomon) was included on early American coinage, including the gold, for a very specific reason, but to even speak of this in America is many times enough to bring retribution. One of the oddest things about it is what all went down when the 6 pointed star on American coinage became the 5 pointed star. Right around 1913-1915 it was, an illegal income tax was made legal just about that time, and even though it was to be rescinded after WWI, it never was. And many other things went down then too. Some of the early versions of this device are difficult to see as the Star of David, the true hexagram, the Seal Of Solomon, even though they are definitely 6 pointed stars. But in later issues, particularly the Morgan issues, the six pointed religious symbol is plainly visible. An odd coin is the Barber Half Dollar 1892-1915, which had the 6 pointed star on the obverse, and the 5 pointed star on the reverse. Finally, do not forget to look up the hex above the eagles head, a six pointed star done in stars...
