Bats appear on the back of a U.S. quarter released in 2020, an indicator that COVID-19 is related to a government conspiracy.
The U.S. Quarter Backhand released a pair of frugivorous bats in 2020 in honor of American Samoa National Park.
Samoan fruit bats have no known link to the new COVID-19 coronavirus.
Many theories have been advanced on the origins of the new COVID-19 coronavirus that gave the impression in Wuhan, China, at the expiration of 2019, ranging from the prosaic discovery that it was just an herbal mutation to the conspiracy that it was a biological weapon created in a Chinese laboratory. A much-discussed option was that SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus originated in bats and went from bats to humans to an intermediate species.
One of the most outlandish conspiracies about the origins of the coronavirus argued that the issuance of a new quarter in the U.S. In 2020 depicting bats in their turn aspect is an indication that COVID-19 had been “created through government” as a component of a plot to “kill the masses and start a new world”:

The game in consultation is a component of the America the Beautiful Quarters® program. Authorized by Congress in 2018, the series includes 56 quarters published in batches of five according to the year 2010 to 2020 (with an additional edition in early 2021), representing a national park or other national site in a U.S. state or territory:
The America the Beautiful Quarters program® is legal through Public Law 110-456 – the U.S. Quarter Coins Act of 2008. The law instructs the Mint to design, mint, and manufacture iconic one-quarter-dollar coins from a national park or other national site in each of the states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories. As stipulated by law, the Mint presents five new quarters according to the year until 2020 in the order in which each of the revered sites was first created, and the last coin was launched in 2021.
The opposite design to the beautiful American community representing American Samoa was announced in 2019, and the coin was issued in 2020. This drawing depicts the National Park of American Samoa and shows the mother of a Samoan frugivorous bat hanging from a tree with her puppy:
American Samoa National Park is about 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii and is one of the furthest from the U.S. National Park System. The site includes sections of 3 islands: Tutuila, Ta’a and Ofu. Almost all the dominance of these volcanic islands, from the most sensitive of the mountains to the coast, is formed by rainforest. The park covers 13,500 acres, 4,000 of which are underwater.
The design of the avers (heads) features the family symbol of George Washington through John Flanagan, used in the community since 1932. It has been restored to highlight the sophisticated main points and the good appearance of the original.
The inverted trend (tails) shows a mother of Samoan bat hanging from a tree with her puppy. The symbol evokes the remarkable care and power that this species gives to its offspring. The design aims to raise awareness of the threatened prestige of the species due to habitat loss and advertising hunting. American Samoa National Park is the park in the United States to space the bat of Samoa.
With regard to this conspiracy theory, we would like to emphasize that the perception that the new coronavirus was born in bats is just an imaginable theory and is about to be tested. And even if this were the case, it is incredibly unlikely that the virus would start in the Bat of Samoa (Pteropus samoensis), which is discovered only in the Samoan and Fiji archipelago, far from the obvious point of origin of the virus in China. We also note the impromperability of a government engaged in the stealth eradication and large of citizens planning years of anticipation to plant sophisticated clues that warn the public of the plot.
