1. The basic monetary unit in many countries; equal to 100 cents.


2. A piece of paper money worth one dollar.


3. A United States coin worth one dollar. (';the dollar coin has never been popular in the United States';)


4. A symbol of commercialism or greed. (';he worships the almighty dollar';; ';the dollar sign means little to him';)
The German name Thaler came from the Bohemian coin minted from the silver from a rich mine at Joachimsthal 鈥?J谩chymov (St. Joachim's Valley) in Bohemia north of Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad). Not long after issuance, these coins gained the name Joachimsthalers. From there, coins gained the name ';thaler'; regardless of the issuing authority.[1] The name is historically related to the tolar, in Germany Reichsthaler, Slovenia (Slovenian tolar) and Bohemia, the daalder in the Netherlands and daler in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. ';Guildiner'; can be traced to 1486 when Archduke Sigismund of Tyrol, a small state north of Venice, issued a dollar-sized coin which was referred to as a ';guildiner';. Silver supplies were small which limited coinage.[2]
