in my business, we're all about the monitary slang.

a buck = $100
a buck and a cooter = $125
a buck and a hay = $150
a deuce = $200
a nickel= $500
a dime = $1000
a wiz or wizzle = $1000 (derivitive form of 'G' for Grand becomes Gee Wiz shortened to wiz)
a 'cooter' or a quarter = $2500
a pair of nickels = $5500


in reference to profit on a deal, $100 is referred to as a pound. a 20 pound deal has $2000 profit.
