Short Dollar History
The United States dollar history is over 200 years. The design we know today was approved in 1928. The word “dollar†stands for “dalerâ€Â. It was an abbreviation for Joachimsdaler, a coin that came from Joachim’s Valley (Bohamia). “Dalers†became popular in England at the times of King George III. Each “daler†was about 1/8 of English pound, thus it was called “piece of eightâ€Â. This long name soon transformed into a famous $ sign.
