    That 8 Reales is where the term pieces of eight came from as it was commonly divided into 8 pieces, also leading to the term 2 bits for 1 quarter of the dollar. Fantastic find. Very well worth the watch.

      I always thought that pieces of eight coins were Spanish coins made of Gold. This coin was a silver dollar made here in the US. You might want to Google it for more info.

      @@davidkohler7454 That is the difference between fact and fiction. In pirate novels this may have been the case, but in reality before America was allowed to mint money, they used Spanish silver dollars which were divided into quarters, halves and eighths.

      This is also why a "bit" was used as the name for computer 0/1's, because that was 1/8 of a register. That is, each memory address contained 8 of them to create a number from 0 to 255. They were named after the "bits" which were 1/8 of a coin.
