	United States dollar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, only cents are in everyday use as divisions of the dollar; "dime" is used solely as the name of the coin with that value, while "eagle" and "mill" are largely unknown to the general public, though mills are sometimes used in matters of tax levies.
		This coin was popular among American colonists who called it the Spanish dollar, the name having derived from a German coin of similar size and composition known as the thaler.
		The first dollar coins issued by the United States mint were of the same size and composition as the Spanish dollar and even after the American Revolutionary War the Spanish and U.S. silver dollars circulated side by side in the United States.

	United States dollar
		Thus the dollar was defined to be 371.25 grains (24.06 g) of silver or 24.75 grains (1.60 g) of gold and could be exchanged at the mint for either silver or gold in this 15:1 ratio.
		Today, like the currency of most nations, the dollar is fiat money without intrinsic value, which means that it has no backing and would be entirely worthless but for the fact that people have been persuaded to use and accept it as if it had worth.
		The name for the United States dollar comes from the Spanish dollar (which itself derived from the thaler) which was the silver coin widely circulated in the United States during the time of the American Revolutionary War.

	The Agonist \| thoughtful, global, timely
		The U.S. dollar has been a primary form of currency in Cuba since the early 1990s, when the island government was forced to implement liberal reforms to cope with the loss of Soviet aid and trade.
		Adopted as a temporary measure in 1993, the widespread use of the American dollar was seen as a necessary evil for economic survival after Cuba lost its Soviet aid and trade with the collapse of eastern socialism.
		The decision to withdraw U.S. dollars from the economy for the first time since the American greenback was legalized on the island in 1993 followed a Bush administration directive in June that limited family visits and remittances to Cuba in an effort to dry up the supply of dollars.

		Dare to mention the good American private citizens and corporations are doing with their donations and along comes some prissy bore to criticise not only the manner of giving, but some situation totally unrelated to the crisis at hand.
		It would also be reasonable and realistic to assume that other American contributions from the private sector have increased in the meantime and that the American government will increase its direct aid even more in the future.
		And yet this token effort of Uncle Sam's was 3 times the figure Americans gave of the goodness of their hearts (or possibly, shrewd calculation--"charity" is sometimes a strategic move after all).
