Iggy here:
Can someone name the different levels of British currency and how they
relate to each other? (Using the pound as a base...)
For example:
penny = 1/100 of a dollar
nickel = 1/20 of a dollar
dime = 1/10 of a dollar
quarter (or "two-bits") = 1/4 of a dollar
dollar = a dollar (aka. A buck)
We also have, of course, slang terms, like a "fiver" or a "five spot" is
a $5 bill
A "ten spot" is a $10 bill... (which is the last of the two "spots")
A "half note" is a $50 bill
A "C-note" is a $100 bill
Thanks in advance...
