The word "buck" is short for "buck-skin" (from a deer). Buck-skin's were used as currency once upon a time.
Also, a marker was used in the old west when playing Poker to indicate who had the next deal, it was called the Buck. Later players used a silver dollar to do this, but it kept the name Buck.

What are the Direct and Indirect objects in these sentences' Joe owes Jim five bucks' Joe owes Jim' is there something wrong here?
Nothing wrong. "Jim" is the indirect object because he is who the bucks are owed to. The direct object is "bucks" because that is what is owed. However, if I put the direct object in a prepositional phrase (Like "to Jim"), the whole phrase becomes a modifier (of "bucks" in the example) and does not effect the sentence, leaving it without an indirect object. ex: Joe owes five bucks to Jim.
