Why do we call dollars BUCKS?

The name “buck” came from a time (circa 1890-1920) where people would trade deer skins as a type of money in america. Male deer are called bucks and so the term “buck” became synonymous with money. through the years, dollars and bucks or buck skins were used interchangeably.

Beach of the Cathedrals, Ribadeo, Spain.

The place's more characteristic features are its natural arches and caves, which can be seen only in low tide. During high tide, the beach appears quite small, but is still suitable to go for a swim. High tide is an interesting time to visit the place and wander over the top of the cliffs, from West to East, heading to the Esteiro Beach. During low tide you can appreciate the size of its magnificent cliffs and the picturesque sea caves, which go from small cracks on the rock to big caves whose roofs collapse due to the erosion of the waves.
