A male deer wearing weapons on his head, also slang for the dollar he'll never spend
means A buck is the male of certain animals (especially deer, rabbits, and goats), and, in informal American speech, a dollar.
from From Old English 'bucca,' meaning a male goat, with cousins across the Germanic languages — Old Norse 'bukkr,' Dutch 'bok,' German 'Bock.' Over time it broadened to mean the male of deer and other animals. The 'dollar' sense is American slang, and the popular story traces it to frontier days when a buckskin (a deer hide) was a unit of trade — so 'a buck' was literally one skin's worth of goods. That tale is plausible and often repeated, though the exact path into 19th-century slang isn't fully nailed down.
