I hate to quibble with Gribble :-), but in actuallity the bill establishing
the Dollar as the U.S. currency (written by Thomas Jefferson) defines the
"mill" -- which is 1/1000 of a U.S. Dollar -- though the only places where
you're likely to run into it is at the gas pump and calculating real estate
taxes.  (The same act established a number of other interesting things, too,
though they're not relevant to the current discussion.)
