Throughout Treasury’s history, the Department has been in charge of overseeing the production of U.S. coins and currency notes for our nation. The United States Mint is responsible for producing coins and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces paper money. The Treasurer of the United States advises the Director of the Mint, the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Deputy Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury on matters relating to coinage, currency and the production of other instruments by the United States.
Origin of the $ Sign – Where Did It Come From?
The origin of the “$” sign has been variously accounted for. Perhaps the most widely accepted explanation is that it is the result of the evolution of the Mexican or Spanish “P’s” for pesos, or piastres, or pieces of eight. This theory, derived from a study of old manuscripts, explains that the “S,” gradually came to be written over the “P,” developing a close equivalent to the”$” mark. It was widely used before the adoption of the United States dollar in 1785.
