What does DOLLAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
The basic unit of money in the United States and a number of other countries.
The word dollar traces back to thaler, a large silver coin minted in central Europe from the sixteenth century onward, whose name spread and changed shape as trade and colonization carried the coin across the world. Early American dollar coins followed the same weight and purity standard before paper notes eventually took over, and the familiar $ sign still marks the figure on price tags, receipts, and payslips. Beyond commerce, dollar often stands in for money or wealth in general, as in phrases like the almighty dollar or a dollar short.
