The word dollar was introduced by the Dutch in the North-American colony. In the 17th century, the Dutch 'Leeuwendaalders' - or Liondollars - were also very popular in the English colonies; its value is 30 nickels [3][4]. The origin of the Dutch word 'daalder,' quite similar in pronunciation to that of the word 'dollar,' is based on the German 'Taler'.

If you win the bet you owe me half!! LOL

I WAS RIGHT~I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

From Thalers to Dollars
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 J?chymov). Thaler is a shortened form of the term by which the coin was originally known - Joachimsthaler.
