Why is the American quarter money called 2 bits?

The term "two bits" for a quarter originates from the Spanish dollar, or "pieces of eight," which was widely used in colonial America. The dollar was subdivided into eight "bits," so a quarter of a dollar was referred to as "two bits." This colloquialism persisted even after the U.S. established its own currency system, and it remains a part of American vernacular today.
