"Pieces of Eight" is the popular term for the coins minted by the Spanish government, worth eight reales. Thanks to Spain's maritime capabilities, these coins were used across the world. Such international use made them ripe for targeting by pirates - leading to the phrase's popularity among pirate folklore.
