Money.  This is something most people want more of and at the same time it is something people are always taking out of their wallet and giving away…to buy things of course!  In the United States there are six denominations* of paper money: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $100.  The $2 bill is not commonly used in the United States, but it does exist.  There are also six denominations of coin money in America: $0.01, $0.05, $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, and $1.00.  Both the $0.50 and $1.00 coins are rarely used in the United States, though they do exist.  There are many more than six ways to say the word money in American English though.  In fact there may be as many as 100 different synonyms for the word money in American English.  Below I have list eleven different words that can be used as synonyms for the word “money” in American English.  Some of these words aren’t exact synonyms. That is, you couldn’t take the word money out of a sentence and replace it with one of these words, but these words all do refer to money.  I have noted in parentheses next to a word if it has a special connotation.  Many of these words are very commonly used in English and most are slang.  If you listen to an American movie or a conversation between Americans I am sure you will hear the majority of these words before very long.
