Call to Action:
Hi everyone! I need your help. I’m putting together an article about slang terms for money around the world for an online travel magazine.
For example, in the USA, we might say “cash”, “bucks”, “flow”, “Benjamins”, “bank”, or “dough”.
Particularly if you live in another country (although I am deeply curious about regional slang terms in the US, too) or if you are fairly well versed in this topic, I’d really love to hear what other people call money around the globe and why. What would be really helpful are historical or anecdotal insights into why those phrases are used.
Share your insights in the comments below. Thanks in advance for your help and input!
I’ve also heard “clams” and “green”.
In Italian, “denaro” and also “scharole” often adopted by mobsters.
Here are a couple:
“Ends”
“Duckets”
