Trivia for today.

Ever wondered why the sign for a dollar is an S with a line through it?

Originated from a "piece of eight", or *peso de ocho*, which was the
Spanish dollar.  The plural of Peso was Pesos, or Ps.  Eventually they
thought it would be a cool idea to merge the P and the S (wtf).  And then
that eventually became the dollar sign we know today.
