[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 439252, member: 2844"]Apparently Thaler is short for Joachimsthaler. The Bohemian town of Joachimsthal, now Jáchymov, was the site of an important silvermine. Silver coins were also minted there for use in many parts of Europe. They were called Joachimsthaler coins, or Thaler for short. Until the introduction of the Euro we still used the term 'daalder' for 1 guilder 50 cents, even though the daalder coin had been obsolete for a long time.[/QUOTE]
