Lets see how smart you are
Ok. This should be an easy question for all you to answer but I have a feeling you guys might not be as smart as I think.
Why do they call dollar bills bucks? For example "hey man you got 5 bucks I can borrow"?

The use of "buck" to mean "money" came about, as one might expect, from the days when a deerskin was a common medium of exchange. The term appears as early as 1748 in the journal of Conrad Weiser, who wrote, while travelling through Indian territory (in what is now Ohio) in 1748, "He has been robbed of the value of 300 Bucks." A hundred years later, with the deerskin no longer a significant unit of trade, use of the word "buck" had shifted to a more general reference to the dollar.
