Origin[edit]

 

Dollar symbol evolution

 

The sign is first attested in British, American, Canadian, Mexican and other Spanish American business correspondence in the 1770s, referring to the Spanish American peso,[1][2] also known as "Spanish dollar" or "piece of eight" in British North America, which provided the model for the currency that the United States later adopted in 1785 and the larger coins of the new Spanish American republics such as the Mexican peso, Peruvian eight-real and Bolivian eight-sol coins.

The best documented explanation reveals that the sign evolved out of the Spanish and Spanish American scribal abbreviation "ps" for pesos. A study of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century manuscripts shows that the s gradually came to be written over the p developing a close equivalent to the "$" mark.[3][4][5][6][7]

Alternative hypotheses[edit]

There are a number of other theories about the origin of the symbol, some with a measure of academic acceptance, others the symbolic equivalent of false etymologies.[8]

Drawn with one vertical line ($)[edit]

Slash 8[edit]

One theory is that the dollar sign is derived from a slash through the numeral eight, denoting pieces of eight. The Oxford English Dictionary before 1963 held that this was the most probable explanation, though later editions have placed it in doubt.[citation needed]

Spanish pieces of eight[edit]

Another theory is that the dollar sign was derived from or inspired by the mint mark on the Spanish pieces of eight that were minted in Potosí (in present day Bolivia). The mint mark, composed of the letters "PTSI" superimposed, bears a strong resemblance to the single-stroke dollar sign (see photo). The mark, which appeared on silver coins minted from 1573 to 1825 in Potosí, the largest mint during the colonial period, would have been widely recognized throughout the North American colonies.[citation needed]

Alternatively, the $ symbol derives from the scroll on the pillar, on the reverse of the "pillar dollar" variety of pieces of eight.[citation needed]

Greek mythology[edit]

Another theory is that the dollar sign may have also originated from Hermes, the Greek god of bankers, thieves, messengers, and tricksters. One of his symbols was the caduceus, a staff from which ribbons or snakes dangled in a sinuous curve.[citation needed]

Drawn with two vertical lines[edit]

See also: Cifrão

The dollar sign drawn with two vertical lines is said to come from the Spanish coat of arms which showed the Pillars of Hercules with a banner curling between them(see below).

Spanish coat of arms[edit]

A common theory holds that it derives from the Spanish coat of arms engraved on the colonial silver coins, the reals, (among them the Spanish dollar) that were in circulation in Spain's colonies in America and Asia. Reals and Spanish dollars were also legal tender in the English colonies in North America, which later became part of the United States and Canada.

In 1492, Ferdinand II of Aragon adopted the symbol of the Pillars of Hercules and added the Latin warning Non plus ultra meaning meaning "nothing further beyond", indicating "this is the end of the (known) world." But when Christopher Columbus came to America, the legend was changed to Plus ultra: meaning "further beyond."

 

 

Spain's coat of arms

The symbol was adopted by Charles V and was part of his coat of arms representing Spain's American possessions. The symbol was later stamped on coins minted in gold and silver. These coins, depicting the Pillars of Hercules over two hemispheres and a small "S"-shaped ribbon around each, were spread throughout America, Europe and Asia. For the sake of simplicity, traders wrote signs that, instead of saying dollar or peso, had this symbol made by hand, and this in turn evolved into a simple S with two vertical bars.

From "U.S."[edit]

A dollar sign with two vertical lines could have started off as a monogram of 'USA', used on money bags issued by the United States Mint. The letters U and S superimposed resemble the historical double-stroke dollar sign Cifrão symbol.svg: the bottom of the 'U' disappears into the bottom curve of the 'S', leaving two vertical lines. It is postulated from the papers of Dr. James Alton James, a professor of history at Northwestern University from 1897-1935, that the symbol with two strokes was an adapted design of the patriot Oliver Pollock in 1778.[9] Oliver Pollock was such a zealous patriot – known as the "Financier of the Revolution in the West" – that conjecture does not overstep its bounds in purporting this theory as viable.[10]

This theory is referred to by the character Owen Kellogg in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged.[citation needed]

"Unit of silver"[edit]

Another theory is that it derives from "unit of silver", each unit being one "bit" of the "pieces of eight". Before the American Revolution, prices were often quoted in units of the Spanish dollar. According to this theory, when a price was quoted the capital 'S' was used to indicate silver with a capital 'U' written on top to indicate units. Eventually the capital 'U' was replaced by double vertical hash marks.[citation needed]

German thaler[edit]

Another hypothesis is that it derives from the symbol used on a German Thaler. According to Ovason (2004), on one type of thaler one side showed the crucified Christ while the other showed a serpent hanging from a cross, the letters NU near the serpent's head, and on the other side of the cross the number 21. This refers to the Bible, Numbers, Chapter 21 (see Nehushtan).[citation needed]

Roman sestertius[edit]

There is a theory that the dollar sign goes back to the most important Roman coin, the sestertius, which had the letters 'HS' as its currency sign. When superimposed these letters form a dollar sign with two vertical strokes (the horizontal line of the 'H' merging into the 'S').[citation needed]

But the symbol doesn’t just mark the U.S. currency. Originally — and to this day— the emblem also represents the peso. Several Spanish-speaking countries consider it their own. Peso literally means “weight” in Spanish.

The origin of the dollar, (or peso) sign is uncertain. However, the reigning theory is that it comes from the Spanish coat of arms, which was engraved on Spanish colonial silver coins, called Real de a Ocho, or “piece of eight.”

On the coin, there were two columns, which represented the Pillars of Hercules, and an “S” shaped ribbon around them. Also represented on the coin was the motto plus ultra, which is Latin for “further beyond.” This was added after Christopher Columbus’ voyage to theAmericas.

The symbol first cropped up in business correspondence between British North America and Mexico in the 1770s. In 1785, the U.S. adopted the currency of Spanish-Mexico. At that time, the dollar sign and the word “dollar” gained widespread use.

Here’s a piece of trivia to impress coin enthusiasts: The dollar symbol did not appear on U.S. currency until the $1 coin that was issued in 2007.

The dollar sign comes from the capital letter "U" superimposed over the letter "S", as in US for United States. Over time, the bottom of the "U" disappeared to mean American money versus British money, ergo, the "S" with two lines. In time, there was no graphic reason for two lines, and it was reduced to one line.

Είχα διαβάσει τις προάλλες εδω σχετικά με την εκτύπωση βιβλίων οτι εαν πάει ο άλλος και ζητήσει 15 αντίγραφα , είναι παράνομο , ενω αν ζητήσει 1 αντίγραφο δεν θεωρείται παράνομο διότι το 1 αντίγραφο εμπίπτει στο "αλλωθι" περι "ιδίας χρήσης" , οπότε και δεν υφίσταται έννοια παρανομίας .

 

Πήγα σήμερα σε φωτοτυπάδικο στην Μελενίκου/Αρμενοπούλου με ενα βιβλίο σε ψηφιακή μορφή και μου είπε ( παρότι του είπα πως θελω 1 αντίγραφο , για ιδία χρήση ωστε να μην υπάρχει νομικό θέμα) πως απαγορεύεται , και πως ούτε 1 μηνα πριν στα αλλα φωτοτυπαδικα εκαναν ντου και συνέλαβαν ιδιοκτητες που αντεγραφαν βιβλία .

Και οτι δεν ειναι απλά μια "απλη παρανομια" αλλα με τα όλα της ( εισαγγελεας , χειροπέδες , αυτόφωρο κλπ κλπ όμορφα πράγματα ) .

 

Εν τέλει το 1 αντίγραφο θεωρείται για ιδία χρήση , οπότε και δεν υφίσταται νομικό κώλυμα ή οχι ;

Ή απλά ο συγκεκριμένος φοβούμενος το πρόσφατο περιστατικό ήθελε απλά να έχει καλυμμένα τα νώτα του ;

Πρώτη φορά το ακούω αυτό.Εγώ ξέρω οτι σε κάθε πακέτο φωτοτυπίες πληρώνεις και πνευματικά δικαιώματα οπότε πως είναι παράνομο δεν το πουλάς σαν να το παίρνεις από δανειστική βιβλιοθήκη νομίζω πως είναι.Το πρόβλημα είναι όταν βγάζεις κέρδος ή όταν δημοσιεύεις μέρος ή όλο χωρίς την άδεια του εκδότη-συγγραφέα ή χωρίς να αναφέρεις ποιανού είναι.
