Sorry, that's a cash term from a certain shady trade.

Single = $1 bill
Fin = $5 bill
Sawbuck = $10 bill
Double = $20 bill
Half = $50 bill
Yard = $100 bill

O.K. I was familiar with "Fin" and "Sawbuck", and "Single" is
fairly self-evident, but the others were unfamiliar. Hmm ... from
Loan-sharking? Betting?


Ummm.. something like that.

White slavery?

Must be a local tradition. The term around here for a 100 is a Ben or
a Benjamin.

Nope. Its definitely a trade thing. I've heard it all over the country.

I sell shade trees for cash. Every now and then some fella thinks a
check is the same thing. I remind them that I'm looking for pictures
of dead presidents.

So you take cash, but don't take hundreds then?
