WI, instead of calling the currency of the US the "dollar", the Founding Fathers decided that America's currency should be called something else, like the "US dinar" [1], or the "American Pound" [2]? What would happen as a result? What would the effects be, reaching into the present day?

(I'd stick to practical choices--somehow, I don't think "American hryvnia" [3] or "US ngultrum" [4] would catch on, except in the ASB forum :D)

Notes:
[1] currency of ancient Rome, Anglicized from "denarius"
[2] currency of Britain
[3] currency of Ukraine
[4] currency of Bhutan
