Spotlight:

How did an 'S' with a vertical line through it become the symbol for the dollar? Although there are a number of theories about the origin of the dollar sign, the most popular belief is that it came from the symbol for the Spanish-Mexican peso or the "Spanish dollar," an "s " superinscribed over a "p." The Spanish peso was the first world currency and the basis for many other national currencies, including the US dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan. Many nations just use the initials of the name of the currency for their symbol; e.g., DM for the German deutsche mark, NIS for the new Israeli shekel and R for South Africa's rand. One of the more eclectic currencies is found in Guatemala — the Guatemalan quetzal, or GTQ. It's named for its national bird, the resplendent quetzal. A new 200-quetzales bill (200 GTQ=US$25.45) goes into circulation today. On one side will be images of three Guatemalan musicians and the reverse side will show a marimba, the Guatemalan national instrument.
