bills
n.— «I remember the first time I saw a Jamaican $100 bill. It was at home in St. Thomas and an “uncle’ was visiting from the United States.…I do not know when the $100 became a “bills,” as it is commonly referred to (it has been more recently referred to as a “dollar,” no doubt as its purchasing power falls). Of course, the $500 note is known as a “Nanny.”» —“What can a ‘bills’ do?” by Mel Cooke Jamaica Gleaner (Kingston) May 31, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
