I've heard money referred to as the president that is on it. For example, "Give me a couple of Jackson's," or "I ended up with a Jefferson," ($2 bill). Is this just for American money? Because quid comes to mind for British.

I didn't notice that there are specific terms for different denominations but I'm familiar with the general terms. Heard about the term quid as one of my friends used it before. I use the terms moolah, breads, funds, and bens to describe money.
