No, it stands for "pieces of eight".

	The bar silver and the arms still lie, for all that I
	know, where Flint buried them; and certainly they shall
	lie there for me.  Oxen and wain-ropes would not bring

	booming about its coasts or start upright in bed with
	the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my
	ears: "Pieces of eight!  Pieces of eight!"
