The most common coin used during pirate times was the Spanish silver dollar, worth eight âReales,â a unit of currency in Spain. Unlike today, cutting money was not illegal. In fact, it was expected that to make change people literally cut the coins into eight pieces, or âbits.â Hence, the British called the Spanish dollar a âPiece of Eightâ (a coin worth eight pieces, or bits), and something valued at âtwo bitsâ cost a quarter of a dollar.
Pieces of Eight is a Wherigo and it uses a cartridge called "The Reverse Cache". The cartridge was developed by -Waldmeister- and has been used in many different caches.
