QUES: The Sanskrit grammatical tradition, Vyakarana, one of the six Vedangas, began in the late Vedic period and culminated in the Astadhyayi of Panini, which consists of 3990 sutras (ca. fifth century BCE). About a century after Panini (around 400 BCE), Katyayana composed Vartikas on the Panini sutras. Patanjali, who lived three centuries after Panini, wrote the Mahabhasya, the "Great Commentary" on the Astadhyayi and Vartikas. Because of these three ancient Vyakaranins (grammarians), this grammar is called Trimuni Vyakarana. To understand the meaning of the sutras, Jayaditya and Vamana wrote a commentary, the Kasika, in 600 CE. Paninian grammar is based on 14 Shiva sutras (aphorisms), where the whole matrika (alphabet) is abbreviated. This abbreviation is called the Pratyahara.

QUES: The dollar was first based on the value and look of the Spanish dollar, used widely in Spanish America from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The first dollar coins issued by the United States Mint (founded 1792) were similar in size and composition to the Spanish dollar, minted in Mexico and Peru. The Spanish, U.S. silver dollars, and later, Mexican silver pesos circulated side by side in the United States, and the Spanish dollar and Mexican peso remained legal tender until the Coinage Act of 1857. The coinage of various English colonies also circulated. The lion dollar was popular in the Dutch New Netherland Colony (New York), but the lion dollar also circulated throughout the English colonies during the 17th century and early 18th century. Examples circulating in the colonies were usually worn so that the design was not fully distinguishable, thus they were sometimes referred to as "dog dollars".
