How many synonyms for coins can you name?

Not a contest, I just love to play with words. How many different words can you offer that are synonymous with coins? Or with the word coins?

Interested in the results.

I'll be watching,

Kind of an interesting topic. So far we've had:
Cash, change, Two bits, buck, sawbuck, moola, scratch, bread, green, lettuse.
Sort of cheating saying sawbuck since it is a dirivitive of buck.
And if we say that is OK, then we should add 4bits.
So how come no one wants to say that famous word that starts aguments here all the time. PENNY.
So lets add:
Fin, dough, disme, C-Note, bullion coin, Eagles, Mill, piece as in Twenty Cent Piece, half Union = $50.
So now we can start a Coin Talk slag dictionary.
Not sure if dough is spelt correctly.

 

Loot...

 

On the other same post there was token but not sure if that is really a coin or currency.
Same with Medals. Are those considered anything in the monitary system?

 

can you spare some cutter me brother?

 

clams, coppers, silver, clads, pieces, cobs, doubloons, shekels, dengi, chips, beans, dinero, wapum

 

dinero, bucks...

 

Are you looking for words that mean coins, money in general, or specific coin or paper money denominations? There are quite a few terms for specific denominations or for money in general, but I don't think there are many at all that mean "coins" in the general sense.

 

I have always liked the word "Bones" for describing money... but I think it equated in my mind to dollars and not coins.

 

Scratch

I've heard "Scratch" apply to both currency & coinage.

 

For the rappers...
