<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1710511, member: 17919&quot;]&quot;Dollar&quot; is merely the English corruption of &quot;taler&quot;, which was a large silver-dollar-sized coin produced by various German-speaking states. Any silver coin of that size was called &quot;dollar&quot; by the American colonists, so it makes sense that &quot;dollar&quot; would become the name of the new currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
