"Silver coins have been used for some 2,500 years. Modern silver dollars represent the end of a long line of similar coins that are descended directly from the legendary Spanish piece of eight, the Joachimsthaler of 16th-century Europe and ultimately the Roman denarius and the drachma of ancient Greece." (HISTORY MAGAZINE) This article traces the use of silver coins throughout history.
