Pirates in FIlm

I lay in a bed unlike my own, to the right of me is some red haired  broad from the previous night.  Not surprised by this encounter since this was a casual way to end the night for a pirate. I throw myself out of the bed and was greeted with a pounding feeling in my head. The rum last night did a number on me. I let the sleeping broad lie in the bed.

The man was great leader and completed many raids with small ...

Leo Dicaprio playing Jordan Belfort(Wolf of WallStreet) In today's word take a look in a wallet or a purse, chances are there is a green paper called a bill. Could be one dollar bill, a five dollar bill, or a twenty dollar bill. The point is that this money was not always the green paper in Mr Dicaprio's hands on the image to the left. Back in the the pirate age of the 1500s instead of paper money or the coins we know today they were plundering pieces of eights. Pieces of eight were silver coins counted as eight reals hence the name. This currency was also known as the Spanish dollar. They were granted this name due to the fact they were made in Spain. The currency would leave the coasts of Spain through the hands of Pirates. Through plunders and takeovers the currency would transport. The treasure was known as the one the prizes from the new world. The Currency would flow out of Panama in ports like Nombre De Dios. Sir Francis Drake Great adventurer dead (Uncharted...
