Words for money

votes
In English there are many words for money.
I expect there are many in Spanish too.
So this thread should help us all.
Here are a few in English.
Bread
Dough
Dosh
Spondoolics
Splosh
How many more are there in both languages I wonder.
Update - Keep'em comin' , I'll do a résumé when we have enough.

Not sure Nicole - it is used in London but may not be Cockney - ian-hill, Mar 29, 2010

In English we also use the word "dinero," as in "That costs a lot of dinero!"
