Halloween coincides with El Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead). A Mexican holiday celebrated on October 31st through November 2nd, days when families get together to reminisce the souls of deceased relatives. The festivities include makeshift shrines comprised trinkets and images of the dead that include food and drink offering.

The celebration of the Day of the Dead dates back to pre-Columbian Aztecs and Nahua people of central Mexico who believed in the cyclical nature of the universe and in the ever-presence of the death among living as an integral part of life.

Good and entertaining… This book is full of historical facts about the symbols on the dollar. You won’t be bored reading it. The author keeps delivering relevant info till the end. And once you’re done reading the book, you’ll never look at the dollar the same way again.

If you’re curious as to how the symbols found on the US dollar came to be, look no further than
Michael Rizzotti’s well researched book. In addition to providing the reader with the history and context, the author expands on related subjects such as the Federal Reserve and the dollar’ s evolution to becoming the reserve currency of the world. All in all, a good, well written read.

Interesting and Detailed. A unique and well researched explanation and interpretation of the symbols we have all seen on ou US dollar. Mr. Rizzotti vividly introduces us to the history of the symbols; and quite interesting interpretations on how and or why these symbols were included on the dollar.
