And to think Canadian’s have a little odd lingo for THEIR money: one dollar is a loony and two dollars is a toonie. (I, a US American, personally call a twenty-dollar note "dandy Andy [Jackson]).
growing up I learned a quarter is 2 bits, a $1 is a buck, a $5 is a fin, $20 is a sawbuck. I’ve forgotten the rest of them now. Being Canadian I call a 5 cent coin a nickel or a beaver, a 10 cent coin is dime or a sailboat, a 25 cent coin is a quarter, or 2 bits, or a caribou, A $1 is a loonie, or a buck. a $2 is a toonie or the Queen with a bear behind.

How is a Chinaman who’s just been run over by a car like a crab? – They are both crushed Asians.

A 5 cent piece? “Meggs allowance”.

I was hoping someone would clarify whether these currency nicknames are actually common in Oz, or just in Meggsy’s circle.
