[thechat] Money Slang

[Quackamoe]

Recently a chatter mentioned Martin's '600 quid'
camera. I've heard the term quid many times, but
am not sure what a quid is. Is it a slang term for
pound sterling? Or what. Seems like in addition to
quid, Andy Capp used to use 'bob' for money. Also
slang for a pound?

US$ slangisms:

dollars = bucks
          smackers
          simoleans (sp?)
          greenbacks
          
Well, I know there's about a million more. How about
other languages.
