>>19768804>>19768806Although I don't actually know why it was the dutch thaler and not literally any other coin. We minted our own coins two centuries before the dutch thalers even went into circulation. (I've even got some at my grandma's)
My theory is that our own coins were called 'denars' like they were in Roman times, but after we lost to Turkey, we changed the name to something else because the Turks' currency was 'dinars' and we wanted to distance ourselves from them.
