There have been weird nicknames for money throughout time — and around the world
Under the Coinage Act of 1792, gold coins had different values, including $2.50 (called a quarter eagle), $5 (half eagle) and $10 (eagle).
If you think those names are weird, wait until you find out what they call money in different parts of the world. Some of the terms used to describe money include toad (Denmark), pasta (Spain), lobster (Australia) and mosquito (Germany), reports Business Insider. The U.S. is also known for giving money weird names, like cheddar and dough.
