"Dollar" comes from the dutch "thaler," which was fairly common currency in
the new world at the time of the American revolution.

At a recent 5MoF someone spoke about "community hours", Ithaca Hours and

I recall at recent 5MoF event someone talking about the origin of the word
"dollar" and how stemed from the phrase "days of labor". I want to find this
person and tap them lightly with a truth stick. Does anyone recall this talk
and presenter?
