I thought it would be fun if members would like to name some phrases, songs, movies or tems in which money or coins are mentioned. For example: 'This little penny'(song). 'The nickel ride'(movie). 'Wouldnt give a plugged nickel'(phrase). If this has been threaded before, sorry. Anyone else?
I have heard the phrase "Stand on your head and spit wooden nickels..." when I was a kid looking for something to do.....:smile Or "here is my two cents on that....." Smaugy....
"He/She doesn't have two nickels to rub together" and I think the rest goes ..."or a pot to **** in". But I could be wrong **edit: Ooooo It automatically edited the naughty words, how nice**
Always wondered if the saying "bust your chops" had any refrence to biting a gold or silver coin to see if it was real. Chop marks. Anyone know?
It does not. And chop marks are identifying marks stamped into a coin by Chinese merchants to certify the coins silver content/weight.
ok. this is good. Thanks. How bout..'drop a dime'.(to rat out.) a movie called ''$'' with warren beatty and goldie hawn. It was pronounced dollars. 'two-bits'(25 cents.) A song from the depression...the other one not this one. lol. 'Brother can you spare a dime?'.
There is a song called " Sorting Wheat Cent Blues " ............I will put it on youtube when I perfect it.
" Your Joshing me" Courtesy of the 1883 No Cents Lib nickel, Josh was said to be the first guy to gold plate them.........and pass them off as half eagles
Learn to play the saxaphone, and I'll just play whay I feel. Drink scotch wiskey all night long.....oops sorry...no coins in this song.
We'll just call you Deacon Blues. By the way, what part of Long Island. (Please not Nassau county... please not Nassau county... ...).
