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

Double = $20 bill
Half = $50 bill

Ummm.. something like that.

White slavery?

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

And way back when, a $1 bill was a "Chlorophyll George". (Back
when Chlorophyll was the new "miracle ingredient" in things like ointment
for abrasions and such. :-)

Enjoy,
