How did the silver dollar get its name?

The silver dollar got its name from the Spanish dollar, also known as the piece of eight, which was widely used in trade during the 16th to 19th centuries. The term "dollar" itself is derived from the German word "thaler," which referred to a silver coin minted in the Joachimsthal region. When the United States began minting its own silver coins in the late 18th century, the term "silver dollar" was adopted to describe these coins, reflecting their value and material.
