money words value: bucks, grounds,...

[LAnkou]

Well, as i often watch movies and listen music in english languages, i would like to know if someone can explain me how much is worth a buck (which always goes at least by ten if i understand correctly...), a ground (minimum 2 ground) and if there are other words like that...

I'm curious on other language as well

In French, we used for french francs:
la balle (The ball): 1F (100 balles = 100 francs)
le sac (the bag): 10F (10 sacs = 100 francs)
la brique (the brique) ou la plaque (the plate or the sheet): 1000F
le baton (the stick): 10000F

Somethings i have heard now about euros:
un noeud (a knot): 1€= 1 noeud
les oeufs (the eggs): 2€=2 oeufs
it's just normal pronociation without the final syllabe "ro"

Recently, there is a joke in France:
1 Kerviel = 4.5 billion €
1 Madoff = 50 billion €

In the US, a "buck" is a name for a single dollar, so you'd say "ten bucks" for $10.

 

[Dachs]

1 buck = 1 USD
1 sawbuck = 1 Hamilton = 10 USD
1 Benjamin = 1 C(-note) = 100 USD
1 grand = 1 G = 1 large = 1,000 USD

Most American slang wrt. cash is variations on the word "money". Money is paper, dinero, moolah, bread, cheese, cabbage, jack...

 

[Supr49er]

1 Fin = $5

 

[warpus]

$1 = Loonie, buck
$2 = Toonie

 

[LAnkou]

1 buck = 1 USD
1 sawbuck = 1 Hamilton = 10 USD
1 Benjamin = 1 C(-note) = 100 USD
1 grand = 1 G = 1 large = 1,000 USD

Most American slang wrt. cash is variations on the word "money". Money is paper, dinero, moolah, bread, cheese, cabbage, jack...

a grand, not a ground...

well, in france, we have a lot of slang word for "money" too: cash, oseille, flouze, blé,...
Passage to euro was a disaster for particular numbers words (the equivalent of bucks and grands) because of the value problem:
What can i have for 100 sacs? In euros or in Francs?

British:

1p = a penny, also as written (one pee) although that annoys me.
2p = two pence, or tuppence
£1 = one pound, a quid, (occasionally) a bob (not technically correct, but used)
£5 = a fiver
£10 = a tenner

but £20 = twenty pounds

£1000 = a grand, or a k, but only as in 'three k' = £3000
