Ps.
Gold & Silver - The Only Real Money Standard =

not paper, not electronic credits, not chips and
not polo-ticz fiatz or 666counterfeitz vs....

The old real dollar is the name of the official currency
in several countries, dependencies and other regions,
including Australia, Canada, the East Caribbean, Liberia,
Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States -

It is represented by the symbol $, placed before the dollar
amount (in French Canada, after) -

The dollar was also in use in Scotland -
during the 17th century, and there is a claim that -
it was invented at the University of St Andrews -

The name is related to the historic currencies Tolar,
in Bohemia, Thaler, in Germany and Daler, in Sweden.

The name thaler (from thal, valley) originally came
from the guldengroschen (great gulden, being of silver
but equal in value to a gold gulden) coins minted -
from the silver from a rich mine at St. Joachimstal
(St. Joachim's Valley) in Bohemia -
(now in the Czech Republic).

The name Spanish dollar was used for a Spanish silver coin,
the peso, an 8 real coin, which was widely circulated -
during the 18th century in the Spanish colonies -
in the New World -

The use of the Spanish dollar and the Maria Theresa thaler -
as legal tender for the early United States -
is the reason for the name of that nation's currency -

The word dollar was in use in the English language -
for the thaler for about 200 years prior to -
the American Revolution -

Spanish dollars, or pieces of eight as they were called,
were in circulation in the 13 colonies that became
the United States and legal tender in Virginia -
