AT dinner recently given in London
the question was asked, What was the
origin of the s mark?" One of the sayans
explained that the American dollar is pat
termed from the Spanish dollar. On the
reverse side of Spanish dollar is u pres
entation of the pillars of Hercules, and
round each pillar is a scroll with the in
scription, PLUS ultra" This device in
the course of time has degenerated into
the sign which stands at present for
American as well as Spanish dollars
"S." The scroll round the pillars repre-
sents the two serpents sent by Juno to
