June 20th, 2017: Money Slang

[xoxoxoBruce]

The Cellar has been exposed to Cockney rhyming slang several times. It seems they
never call anything by it's proper name. It's a secret language spoken between insiders,
maybe to confuse the posh, although some of the terms are more widely known.
We've had several Brits and ex-pats try to explain it but it's still Greek to me.
Not surprisingly, they have names for different denominations of money.



What did surprise me is how many slang terms for amounts there are in different nations.



This can't be all of them, just a small sampling


Naturally a Toad is a valuable pile of Kroners.

I'm pretty sure various regions in countries have there unique nicknames for money.
Got any from your country or region?
