<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2717723, member: 39"]Yep, the word "Tal" (in earlier times spelled "Thal") means "valley". Could be any valley, but when it comes to coins, the term refers to Joachimsthal (today Jáchymov, CZ). The Joachimsthaler, made from the silver found in the local mines, was a kind of model for similar coins that were then simply called T(h)aler ... or Dollar. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
