Why is a dollar called a buck?
I know a Canadian Dollar Coin is called a loonie because of the engraving of a loon on it.

Indians and Europeans used to trade buckskins.
Buck is often thought to be a shortened version.
The Indians taught the European settlers the value of a buck. In the eighteenth century, that meant a deerskin, used for trading in its own right and as a unit of value for trading anything else. So in 1748, while in Indian territory on a visit to the Ohio, Conrad Weiser wrote in his journal, "He has been robbed of the value of 300 Bucks"; and later, "Every cask of Whiskey shall be sold…for 5 Bucks in your town."
