After some further research I found the Talk Like A Pirate Day Website. And here are some additional pirate links:

Hi Emma,
It’s the Spanish silver dollar that was often cut into halves, quarters and eighths. It was commonly known as “pieces of eight”.
Do I win?
Kirk, your so smart! Pieces of Eight is the answer. You win a spot on my blogroll. I hope you’re comfortable there. It’s nice to have someone familiar win. Thanks for answering.
