In Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, Long John Silver's parrot had apparently been trained to cry out, "Pieces of eight!" This use tied the coin (and parrots) to fictional depictions of pirates. Deriving from the wide popularity of this book, "Pieces of eight" is sometimes used to mean "money" or "a lot of money", regardless of specific denomination.
A cache placed for the event GC3WA85 - Cache Like a Pirate (2nd Annual) as part of a race to the final event cache. Please disregard the letters on the lid of the cache as the final for the race is not published.
