pearance of the coinage of the United
States, 1877 years ago.
Dollars Name Is German.
1.-THE name dollar which was APP
piled to the American unit of money,
says the bulletin. "came from the silver
coin invented md minted by the Count
of Sehl.c6. at st. Joachimsthal, Bo-
hernia, toward the end of the fifteenth
century. Locally this new coin was
| first called the Joachimsthaler.' In
Germany, the name was shortened to
'thaler,' in Holland it became 'daler'
and in England and the American Colo
MES dollar
But although the name came cir
cautiously from little town in Bohemia,
the United States really got its none
tary unit from Spain. The dollar is
really a piece of eight'-the same
glamorous piece of eight that played
such an important role in pirate &C
tivities on the Spanish Main.
Alias for Pirates Coin.
I'm Spanish this signifies eight reales.
! In English it is spoken of as eight bits
A bit is 1912 cents. In the South and
West it is still customary to say two
bits and six bits So does the division
of the pieces of eight of piratic days on
the Spanish Main still survive.
In 1894 the silver coins of the new
nation began to appear-the half dime,
half dollar ana dollar. In 1895 came
the half eagel and eagle in gold. The
silver dime and quarter dollar appeared
in 1896, as dio the quarter eagle. The
double eagle, however, was not struck
for circulation until 1850.
"Of these the half dime has been dis
placed by the nickel scent piece. The
present 1-cent piece has been added
and completes the metal currency as
now in use.
Coins BIOSSOmed and Faded.
"Other coins have been issued, main
tanned for time, and discontinued. A
3-dollar gold piece was minted from
1853 to 1890; 1-dollar gold piece from
1849 to 1890; trade silver dollar for
use in China, that was heavier than
the standard coin, from 1873 to 1887;
3-cent silver piece from 1851 to 1873;
Scent nickel piece from 1865 to 1890.
A 2-cent bronze piece, a big 1-cent cop
per, 1-cent nickel piece and half
cent copper, have each been minted for
a time and abandoned.
Mexico and most of the countries
that were once a part of the Spanish
Empire stamp their coins peso but
they are commonly called dollars
Canada though a British Dominion
uses a dollar which. at par, is Of equal
value with ours. China stamps dollar
on its coins, and Japan has its COM
parative coin called a yen.' The old
Spanish pieces of eight, named Span

luenced the currency of a good part CT
