The US Congress decided to call the US currency "dollar"
July 6, 1785
July 6, 1785
After the Americans won independence to use British pounds and shillings for the Yankees was a bad form. July 6, 1785, at the suggestion of Thomas Jefferson, the United States Continental Congress proclaimed that the main monetary unit of the country is now the dollar. Thus, the US became the first state to accept the word "dollar" as the official name of the national currency.
In 1792 the Philadelphia Mint was created, where the first American dollars were minted. The external appearance of the paper dollar was constantly changing. His modern look he received in 1928, when for a one-dollar and other banknotes, a design, proposed by the Russian emigrant - artist and theosophist Sergei Makronovsky (Kerih) was accepted.
He located on one side of the dollar banknote elements of the Great Press - the state emblem of the United States, which was designed by the Secretary of Congress Thomson with the participation of a specialist in heraldry Barton and was established in June 1782: an eagle with an olive branch with thirteen olives in the right paw and a bundle of thirteen arrows in the left, as well as the image of an incomplete thirteen-step pyramid, over which the eye of Providence is placed in the luminous triangle.
Orlan is now widely used as an official logo, and you will find the pyramid only on one-dollar bills that make up 45% of the total amount of American money printed today.
Today, everyone can “share their souls” in full rights - July 6 is World Kiss Day.
The holiday of kisses was invented in the UK, and two decades ago it was approved by the United Nations.
In many cities on this day various kissing contests take place, the participants of which have a chance to win various prizes and gifts (For the longest kiss, for the most beautiful kiss, for a passionate kiss, etc.). So, go for it, set "kissing records"!
Closer to the night we meet Ivan Kupala - a pagan folk festival among the Slavs.
The main feature of the Kupala night is cleansing fires. They danced around them, jumped over them: whoever jumps better and higher will be happier.
In some places, livestock was driven through Kupala fire to protect it from the pestilence.
In the Kupala campfires, mothers burned the shirts removed from the sick children, so that illnesses could be burned along with this linen.
Young people and children, having jumped over fires, organized noisy merry games and a races.
According to the beliefs of the peasants, on Kupala night, the shortest night of a year, you can not sleep, because every evil spirits - witches, werewolves, mermaids, snakes, sorcerers, brownies, aquatic, goblins - come to life and become especially active.
In short, this is Slavic Halloween.
And the hero of the plant world on Kupala day was a fern, with which legends about treasures were commonly associated. The fern on this night is revealed by a strong, fiery red (from a distance crimson), slightly shimmering color and gives the opportunity to the finder to guess the future. Only with a fern flower, which opens only for a few moments at midnight on Kupala day, you can see all the treasures, no matter how deep they are in the Earth.
1785 - dollar became the national currency of the United States.
1885 - Louis Pasteur successfully tested a rabies vaccine on a boy who was bitten by a rabid dog. 9-year-old Joseph Meister became the first person to survive a rabies infection. He retained his gratitude for all his life to his savior, until the end of his days having worked as a watchman at the Pasteur Institute and taking care of the scientist’s grave. After the invasion of Hitler's troops in France in 1940, Meister chose to commit suicide than letting the Nazi marauders outrage over Pasteur’s grave.
