Here’s a quick history of dollar…
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. |

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.)

Help us send out the OneBuckWiki BUZZ by putting one of these bumperstickers on your car.
Today, I sneaked into my old work, Keetsa Mattress Store, and made some bumperstickers with some of the bumpersticker paper they had laying around.
No, it’s not a real dollar bill, it’s actually a bumper sticker… :p
We made about 50 of these so if you want one for free, send your address to zedomax [at] gmail.com. We will send it to you as quickly as possible through USPS. (I already put these all over my car, it looks kinda cool…)

Here’s a small Mastercard ad for these Bumperstickers:
1. HP Computer = $2000
2. Athlete’s Foot Spray at the Dollar Store = $1
3. Basketball Shoes from Payless = $60
FREE Handmade OneBuckWiki Bumperstickers = Priceless

Here’s proof that these are handmade. My girlfriend helped me cut them up. :0) Thanks Nancy!
