A scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 2007
Barbossa

[Barbossa has just convened Brethren Court at Shipwreck cove]

To confirm your lordship and right to be heard, present now your Pieces-of-Eight, my fellow captains!

Pintel

[The pirate lords begin to place small objects in a bowl, rather than pieces-of-eight.]

Those aren't pieces-of-eight... they're just pieces of junk!

Gibbs

Aye, the original plan was to use Nine Pieces-of-Eight to bind Calypso, but when the First Court met, the Brethren were to a one skint broke.

Pintel

So change the name.

Gibbs

What? To "Nine Pieces of Whatever-We-Have-In-Our-Pockets-At-The-Time"? Oh yes, that sounds very piratey.
