Cool! Didn’t know about these – I added them to the list!

But when I was growing up in Montreal, the 0.25 cent coin was commonly referred to as “two bits.”

And in local French Québécois slang back at mid-twentieth century, a Dollar was often referred to as a Piastre.

That’s great!!

And much less chance of confusion vs Fun Tickets :)

You guys can keep your fins and sawbucks ;)

Same :)

In fact, I didn’t even know it was another term for money until hearing the backstory!

Got a win right off the bat before even jumping into the blog and falling in love with it, haha…

There must be a generational component to this vocabulary– I immediately thought of fins, sawbucks, and double sawbucks.

Of course Generation Z would need a double sawbuck to have the same buying power as our generation’s fins…

Good branding, Miss Mazuma… I think of your site now before I think of the money!

Another fun side note – I used to listen to this video game show on the college radio station and any time they would talk about money they would say “fun dollars” – I think for some reason never made clear they weren’t allowed to talk about money so they would say fun dollars instead. Of course they always said it with the knowing sarcasm of college students haha

“Shinplasters,” which referred to paper money of low denomination.
