History of Dollar Bill

       
Here’s a quick history of dollar…
clipped from www.projects.ex.ac.uk
The history of the dollar is a story involving many countries in different continents.
The word dollar is much older than the American unit of currency. It is an Anglicised
form of “thaler”, (pronounced taler, with a long “a”), the name given to coins
first minted in 1519 from locally mined silver in Joachimsthal in Bohemia. (Today the
town of Joachimsthal lies within the borders of the Czech republic and its Czech name is
Jáchymov). Thaler is a shortened form of the term by which the coin was originally known
- Joachimsthaler.
Later on the English version of the name (dollar) was also applied to
similar coins, not only ones minted in central Europe but also the Spanish peso
and the Portuguese eight-real piece. Both these large silver coins were
practically identical in weight and fineness. Today we are familiar with the
phrase pieces of eight from tales of pirates in the Caribbean.

HOWTO make a One Dollar Shirt!2

HOWTO make a One Dollar Shirt!

Wow, check out how you can turn a dollar bill into a shirt!

When you re-tuck the fold you’ve been working on back under the collar, you’re done! It should look about like this. With the basic shape, the collar and the sleeves, it should be recognizable. Once you’ve done a few, you can try folding the whole thing into the reverse side, leaving the obverse side out. (Like I said, I think this looks better. This is especially true with 1 dollar bills where the edge seal on the reverse under the collar looks a little bit like a necklace.)
