Become more vigorous the dollar at a shift responsibility
RE: Buck
"Buck the buck" could be construed to mean to devalue the dollar, because one obscure meaning of "buck" is to lessen, as in a "buck transformer" in the electrical world. But I can't place a solid contextual meaning to the first "buck" in that phrase you asked about.
Buck can mean "try" as in "Buck for a promotion"; so maybe it can mean "trying to devalue the dollar"?
Buck can also mean "to resist", as in "To buck a trend"; so maybe it would mean "trying NOT to devalue the dollar"?
But I don't know anyone who would say any of that other than as a joke.

John, where Mary had had "had", had "had had"; had "had had" been the correct answer, John would have been right.

in reply to jimkirk:
If I wrote...
Dave, where John had had "had had", had "had had had"; "had had had" had had more marks in the gramattical exercise they were doing.
Then could I also write..
Richkeogh, where jimkirk had had "had had "had", had "had had"; had "had had"" had "had had "had had", had "had had had"; "had had had" had had"; "had had "had had", had "had had had"; "had had had" had had" had had the effect of making the sentence practically unreadable, and making Richkeogh need to go for a long lie down in a darkened room somewhere.

After the buck of my horse, I fall down, in the meantime my bucks fall out of my pockets, blown by the wind; to this we call it inflation.

Known to his close friends as 'Bucky'.

Personally I LIKE the typo. Suits the personality of old Bucky (at least what I heard in architectural history class)

RE: Buck
Buck is also a technical term in forestry, refering to the cutting of a felled tree into logs. Many bucks are lost through poor bucking.

Not normally differentiating between true Yanks and those from the South, just generic terms for those from the States.
