Banknote with a face value of one dollar, blessed and given directly by the Admo”r Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch.
The Rebbe once explained the dollar bill’s segulah, with an emphasis on abundant livelihood. Just as when one mixes a little beverage from the shirayim [remnants] from a kos shel berachah – even into a whole barrel – the entire barrel receives the segulah of the shirayim , so too when money from a tzaddik – even a single penny – is mixed into a person’s property, all his property receives the segulah of ‘the tzaddik’s money’ and all his property is blessed! The Rebbe stated that this is the reason for Chaza”l’s saying (Bava Batra 15) “Anyone who takes a penny from Iyov is blessed” – that even a small amount from the tzaddik – grants blessing to all one’s funds!
