	Yard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The yard derives its name from the word for a straight branch or rod, although the precise origin of the measure is not definitely known.
		One postulate was that the yard was derived from the girth of a person's waist, while another claim held that the measure was invented by Henry I of England as being the distance between the tip of his nose and the end of his thumb.
		In 1926 a yard or a century was slang for $100, then by 1932 it had progressed to be slang for $1,000.

		In the United States results of geodetic surveys are still expressed in feet based on the former definition of the yard; this is known as the U.S. Survey Foot, defined as 1200/3937 of a meter.
