Who knows why in America, a dollar is also referred to as a "buck"?
Again, too much thinking on my part, at work. It drove me insane 'til I was able to get home and find the answer,

Ummmm, how about the pride and satisfaction of a job well done? 
(No, this doesn't belong in F&G, since it's only one question, and will be disappearing)

It's called a buck becuase in settler times the skin of a buck deer was worth one dollar

Yes, that is the primary reason... I'd learned that long ago, and like I said, it was totally driving me nuts at work that I couldn't remember. I informed most of the customers today, (they seem to like it when I do that, and unfortunately, or fortunately, depends on your POV, I do it a lot, )

I find out totally weird things but don't normally tell them to people, otherwise they thing I'm weird. There is one exception though, whenever there's a pretty girl I seem to come up with the weird facts and the person slowly moves away,
