    Assuming you don't want to refer to the particular currency, cash.

    Note, or banknote, if I'm talking about the specific physical thing. Otherwise it's Euro or quid if I'm talking about the price of something.

    Folding currency is usually referred to as a note in these parts, a bill elsewhere and probably a few other things around the world.

    Cash if it's notes

    Shrapnel if it's change


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    Squids for notes.
    Bruss or silver for change.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,078 ✭✭✭✭LordSutch


    I've got a few notes plus some loose change if that's any use?

    Two fivers and a tenner.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭UCDVet


    I guess it doesn't matter, if you don't travel. I go between the EU/UK/US a fair bit - so I always refer to the type of currency.

    If I have 10 pounds and 10 euro, I say I have 10 pounds and 10 euro.

    I never say X euros - but I'm not sure if that's correct.

    Notes or quid.

    As in, 'I'll give you 5 notes for that'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon

  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 26,403 Mod ✭✭✭✭Peregrine


    Fiver, tenner, twenty and fifty.

    Any multiple of 5 higher than €10 but less than or equal to €100 could also be called quid. 20 quid, 45 quid, 80 quid etc.

    Anything over €100 is (amount) euro. 140 euro, 300 euro etc.

    shrapnel for loose change.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 304 ✭✭Panda_Turtle

    Most of my dealings with money usually involve the following.

    Some cash, few quid/bob

    Load of coppers/change

    Think I have a euro here somewhere
