Note that the U.S. Currency was designed long before the construction of the twin towers.
The United States one-dollar bill ($1) is a denomination of U.S. currency. The first president, George Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse, while the Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse. The one dollar bill has the oldest design of all U.S. currency currently being produced. The obverse debuted in 1963 when the $1 bill first became a Federal Reserve Note and the reverse debuted in 1935.
# May 24, 2000: To combat evolving counterfeiting, a new $5 bill was issued under series 1999 whose design was similar in style to the $100, $50, $20, and $10 bills that had all undergone previous design changes. The $5 bill, however, does not feature color-shifting ink like all the other denominations.
# June 28, 2006: The BEP announced plans to redesign the $5 note, likely with similar features as newer $10, $20, and $50 notes. A final design is currently expected in the fall of 2007, with release in the first quarter of 2008.
# May 24, 2000: To combat evolving counterfeiting, a new $10 bill was issued under series 1999 whose design was similar in style to the $100, $50, and $20 bills that had all undergone previous design changes. The major changes were a revised portrait of Hamilton and a revised vignette of the U.S. Treasury building.
# 2001-2004: Various members of the United States Congress introduced bills that would replace the portrait of Hamilton with a portrait of Ronald Reagan. None of the bills were enacted.
# The newest $10 bill entered circulation on March 2, 2006. In addition to design changes introduced in 2000, the obverse features red background images of the Statue of Liberty's torch, the phrase WE THE PEOPLE from the United States Constitution, a smaller metallic representation of the Statue of Liberty's torch, orange and yellow background color, a border-less portrait of Hamilton, and to the left of Hamilton small yellow 10s whose zeros form the EURion constellation. The reverse features small yellow EURion 10s and have the fine lines removed from around the vignette of the United States Treasury building.
# September 24, 1998: Received a completely new appearance to further deter counterfeiting; the picture of the White House was changed to the north side view. A larger, off-center portrait of Jackson was used on front, and several anti-counterfeiting features were added, including color-shifting ink, microprinting, and a watermark.
# October 9, 2003: Still another new appearance with light background shading in blue and yellow, and no oval around Andrew Jackson's portrait (background images of eagles, etc. were also added to the front); the back is the same view of the White House, but without the oval around it.
# October 27, 1997: Major design changes were implemented under series 1996 to further deter counterfeiters. Included were an enlarged and off-center portrait, an enlarged and updated view of the U.S. Capitol on the reverse, a security thread which glows yellow under ultraviolet light, a numeric 50 which shifts color from black to green when tilted, and a watermark of Grant. Also, for those with vision limitations, a large dark 50 was added to the bottom left corner of the reverse. The Federal Reserve seal was also changed to a unified Federal Reserve System seal and an additional prefix letter was added to the beginning of the bill's serial number.
# September 28, 2004: A revised design was implemented with the first use of multiple colors since the 1905 $20 Gold Certificate. Around the new border-less portrait of Ulysses Grant appears a subtle, stylized blue and red background image of the American Flag. A small silver-blue star was also added to the lower right of Grant's portrait. All previous series 1996 security features were included, although the color-shifting numeric 50 now shifts from copper to green. The oval border and fines lines surrounding the U.S. Capitol on the reverse have been removed and replaced with sky and clouds. The new design also seems to have the "EURion constellation" on the back to prevent photocopying of the bill.
# 2005: U.S. Representative John Kline introduced legislation to replace Grant's image on the $50 bill with the late president Ronald Reagan.
# March 25, 1996: The first major design change in numerous years took place with the adoption of a contemporary style layout. The main intent of the new design was to deter counterfeiting. New security features included a watermark of Franklin to the right side of the bill, optically variable ink (known as O.V.I) that changed from green to black when viewed at different angles, a higher quality and enlarged portrait of Franklin, and hard-to-reproduce fine line printing around Franklin's portrait and Independence Hall. Older security features such as interwoven red and blue silk fibers, microprinting, and a metallic security thread were kept. The individual Federal Reserve Bank Seal was changed to a unified Federal Reserve Seal along with an additional prefix letter being added to the serial number.
# Near future: The $100 bill is expected to receive design changes analogous to the current $20 bill, $50 bill, and newly released $10 bill. According to the Associated Press, the new $100 bills will be released after the re-designed $5 bills in 2008. [2] The new bill requires the use of brand-new intaglio presses costing hundreds of millions of dollars.[citation needed] Although the redesign has been publicized as routine, North Korean counterfeiting operations are a major concern.[3]

Do not forget that you talking to a World wide nation. Its not just the US that has access to ATS.
Even worse than the $20, fold a new dollar coin in half, and it turns into a black helicopter.

One of the links shows how to fold them. It is the $20 bill I believe. You could print out a copy of the money and fold it if you have to.
Here's another one for the $20

Here's another one that shows the $5 and $20
www.croqaudile.com...
This last one shows the $5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Like I said, I don't subscribe to these legends but it does make you wonder.

Edit: Wierd thing I just found on the last site.

My questions are: What is a dollar coin? How do you fold a coin in half? I'm assuming that a coin is made of metal.

If you fold Washington's face just right, you'll see a mushroom cloud.

The powerful people are obsessed with symbolism and hidden messages, heck even Nostradamus knew what was to happen in the 21st century (because he was close to people of power) so surely it would have been no problem for them to put that in their when they were creating dollar bills.
