[QUOTE="CaptHenway, post: 8092732, member: 13813"]Find the oldest published version of the myth that George Washington threw a "silver dollar" over some river and see how that story called the coin. It must be understood that Washington supposedly did this as a young man, and that the USA did not strike "silver dollars" until 1794. However, Spanish-American 8 Reales were common in America and could plausibly have been called "silver dollars."[/QUOTE]
