Dollar, a shortening of Joachimstaler… Someone explain how the fuck something which I suppose is pronounced “yo-ah-keen-staah-laerh” eventually became dollar instead of “stalle” or “talle”
Just thinking out loud… “U.S. Staah-laerh” ~= “U.S. Taah-laerh” ~= “U.S. Daah-laerh”?
By taking a detour from the German Taler/Daler via Spanish Dolero. Already sounds more like Dollar?
Wow, doesn’t even have the balls to add the Canadian loonie into the mix. They just lump us in with the rest of the dollar gang…
Euro: “coz yurop init!”
