9. The Illuminati Created the U.S. Dollar Symbol (Myth)
The claim that the Illuminati designed the U.S. dollar symbol is unfounded. Historical records indicate that the dollar sign ($) originated in the 18th century, with its design evolving from the Spanish peso sign. The symbol’s design is not linked to the Illuminati but rather to the Spanish dollar, which was widely used in the Americas during that period (en.wikipedia.org).
