Lou Jordan of the University of Notre Dame writes: "The
following e-mail question was sent to me today. I do not
know the answer but thought someone on this list may have
some relevant information. Can you please post this question
to The E-Sylum and also post any replies? The e-mail
question follows:Dr. Jordan:
In your research of American coinage, have you found any
text that explains why the word "eagle" was selected to
define specific gold coin denominations mentioned in Section
9 of the Act of April 2, 1792? Thank you for your time and
assistance."- 2004-04-18
