C note

Can anyone tell me what a "C note" is? I´m guessing it might be slang for a certain denomination of cash?

U$D 100 bill, Amayo.

Thanks Chris! I had a feeling you would have known that one.

C-Note es un album de Prince o un rapero americano. ¿en dónde necesitas aplicarlo?

PIM, C-Note es un billete de U$D100

PIM and chris are both right. A c-note (aka a century note or a yard) is a $100 bill and C-Note is a rapper.

FYI: a $1000 bill is a G or a grand (no longer printed);a $20 is a Jackson; a $10 is a sawbuck or ten-spot; a $5 bill is a fin or fiver and a $1 is a buck or a greenback.

Hahaha... that's some very interesting information vicente!! I´ve never heard of a lot of these before, a sawbuck, really?? Good stuff!!

En Argentina los llamamos Roca a los billetes de 100 porque es el prócer que designaron para ese billete.

A Luca is the same as saying a "G" in English. Not sure if it's used only in Argentina or anywhere else. Does anyone know?

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me chris!

I haven't hear lucas as money but in the TV series The Sopranos they used "rock" to mean a million dollars.

In Spain, 500 Euro bills used to be called Bin Ladens, because everybody knew they existed but nobody had ever laid eyes on one...

I have heard this term in Peru. I do not know if it is used somewhere else.
Una luca = 1000 soles
Una luca verde = 1000 dollars

Yeah California, in Argentina we use "Luca" too, Regarding $1.000, and "palo" for $1.000.000

and, of course, "palo verde" when it refers to USD.

So a "palo verde" means a million US dollars? I think I've got a couple palos veredes lying around my living room haha
