New!? Well, that depends upon what is "new". _Dollarization_ appears in The Barnhart Dictionary Companion Vol. 4.1-2 (c. 1985) with an earliest date of 1980. When should we call a term new? This has been a thread of debate since the first Barnhart Dictionary of New English (c. 1973). Regards, David K. Barnhart Barnhart at highlands.com
