That other guy? Not so much.
I don't agree with the conspiracy theory, just letting you guys know that it exists. The term "illuminati" gets bastardized and overused, but there is tons of symbolism on the $1 bill, for those of us with too much time on our hands.

Kubrick touch on this a lot in his movies. He used the triangle a lot. The poster for A Clockwork Orange being just one of many examples.

Interesting read: https://www.amazon.com/Kubricks-Code.../dp/B01JN569Z2
