Let’ssaythatyourfriend, who’s having aparticularlygreatday,tellsyou,“Ifeellikeamillion dollars.”Alittle bitconfused, youreply,“Wait,don’tyoumean‘amillionbucks’?”Yourfriendshrugsandsays,“Bucks,dollars. Samething.”
Butwhyis that?Howdidtheseeminglyrandomword“bucks”becomeinterchangeablefordollars?
Well,here’sahint:Theproperdefinitionoftheword“buck”isamaledeer.Deerwerebeingcalled“bucks”longbeforedollarswere—longbeforeAmericandollarsevenexisted,asa matteroffact.
Inthe earlydaysofNorthAmericancolonization,settlersweretrading goods withtheNative Americans.Inthe
1700s,animalpelts(皮)wereformsofcurrency,muchinthesamewaydollarbillsaretoday.Andoneofthemost valuableanimalpeltswas—youguessedit—
adeerpelt,otherwiseknownasa“buck.”Adocumentfromtheyear
1748revealsthatabarrelofwhiskeyheldthesamevalueas“fivebucks.”Another documentfromthesameyear
expressesgreatsadnessaboutarobberythatoccurredaroundwhatwasthepresent-dayOhio.Theunfortunate travelerwas“robbedofthevalueof300bucks.”
Interestinglyenough,even backthen,one“buck”didn’t necessarilymeanpreciselyonedeerpelt.A buckhadto beaparticularlygooddeer pelt. Since deerpeltsarethickestinthewinter, the pelts of deer killedinthesummertime werelessvaluable,andthereforeitmighttakeseveralofthosetoequalone“buck.”Likewise,multiplepeltsof smalleranimals,likebeaversorrabbits,couldalsobecombinedtoequalthevalueofone“buck”. Thisconnectionoftheword“bucks”withcurrencystuckaroundaftercoinageofU.S.dollarsbegan,around 1792.Andwe’vebeennicknamingdollars“bucks”eversince.
