The Word “Dollar” Derives From “Joachimsthaler”. The common ancestor is the taler, also spelled thaler, a series of silver coins minted in Bohemia in the 1500s. You can thank a man with a great name, Count Hieronymus Schlick of Bohemia, for coining the term Joachimsthaler after the place where the silver was mined in what is now the Czech Republic.
