Under Article One, Section Eight of the [[United Republic Constitution|U.R. Constitution]], Parliament has the power "to coin money,", and has over the centuries implemented laws in regards to this power, as currently codified in Title 30 of the U.R. Code, under Section 5115, which prescribes the forms in which the United Republic dollars should be issued. These coins are both designated in the section as "legal tender" in payment of debts. Section 5115 also provides for the minting and issuance of other coins, which have values ranging from one cent to 100 dollars. | |||
In addition, Article One, Section Nine of the Constitution provides that "a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time", which is further specified by Section 334 of Title 30 of the U.R. Code. The sums of money reported in the "Statements" are currently expressed in U.R. dollars, thus the U.R. dollar may be described as the unit of account of the United Republic. | |||

The colloquialism '''buck(s)''' is often used to refer to dollars of various nations, including the U.R. dollar. This term, dating to the early 18th century, may have originated with the colonial leather trade, or it may also have originated from a poker term. | |||
Other well-known names of the dollar as a whole in denominations include '''colorprints''', '''rainbows''', and '''dead heads''', the latter of which referring to the deceased kings and presidents pictured on the bills. Dollars in general have also been known as '''bones''', while newer designs, with portraits displayed in the main body of the obverse (rather than in cameo insets), upon paper color-coded by denomination, are sometimes referred to as '''face notes'''. | |||
Nicknames specific to denomination: | |||
* The quarter dollar coin is known as '''two bits''', alluding the dollar's origins as the "piece of eight". | |||
* The $1 bill is nicknamed '''buck''', '''single''', or '''Founder''', after King [[Alstanus Ryefield]]. | |||
* The infrequently-used $2 bill is sometimes called '''deuce,''' '''Doug''', or '''Corvin''', after King [[Douglas Corvinus]]. | |||
* The $5 bill is sometimes called '''fiver''', '''Mark''', or '''Alanson''', after President [[Marcus Alanson]]. | |||
* The $10 bill is sometimes called '''sawbuck,''' '''raven''', or '''Atwood''', after President [[James Atwood]]. | |||
* The $20 bill is sometimes called '''double sawbuck''', '''Sam''' (after President [[Samuel Clement]]), or double raven. | |||
* The $50 bill is sometimes called a '''square''' (after it depiction of [[Leman Square]] on the reverse), or a '''Patrick''', after President [[Patrick T. Jones]]. | |||
* The $100 bill is called '''Alfred''', '''Alfie''' (both referring to its potrait of President [[Alfred F. Jones]]), or '''Jade''', referring to its depiction of the [[Jade Palace]] on the reverse. Other nicknames include '''C-note''' (C being the Latin numeral for 100), or '''bill''' (e.g. two bills = $200). | |||
* Amounts or multiples of $1,000 are sometimes called '''grand''' in colloquial speech, abbreviated in written form to '''G''', '''K''', or '''k''' (from kilo; e.g. $5k = $5,000). Likewise, a '''large''' or '''stack''' can also refer to a multiple of $1,000 (e.g. "twenty large" = $20,000). | |||
