圖為一張加拿大「已定居」區域地圖的隨圖插畫，描繪原住民與紐約、新英格蘭地區墾殖者之間的毛皮交易。許多北美印地安社群使用毛皮作為交易貨幣，例如加拿大的原住民常使用河狸皮。一塊錢美金俗稱 "buck"，即反應獸皮（buckskin）作為交易單位的歷史。
An illustration in a map of the inhabited part of Canada, depicting a fur transaction between indigenous people and the settlers of New York and New England. Many North American indigenous communities use furs as currency; for instance, indigenous people in Canada often used beaver skins. One United States dollar is colloquially called a “buck,” reflecting the history that buckskin was an original unit for trade.
