fin

Pittsburgh, PA slang for $5. Probably used in a lot of cities though, but through my travels I have only heard it here. Even some suits and ties in Pittsburgh know what a "fin" is, but they get red-faced because it usually reminds them of their not-so-perfect pasts until they wore those suits haha.

Used at flea markets, bars, and on the streets. At a flea market, if an item is priced at say $8 or $10, you say "no way I'll only give ya' a fin for it; only a fin!" At some local bars, "hey how much is a Long Island Iced Tea?" And the bartender replies, "a fin".
