$100
There's lots of nicknames for the $100 bill. C-note, 10-spot, Benjamin. Nobody has a good nickname for the $5. There are no fucking bands singing about how it's "all about the Abe's." You can't walk up to a bouncer and say, "I don't think my name is on the list but I do believe you have my friend here, Mr. Lincoln." It's a tragedy really.

It used to be known as a fin. I do not know the origin.
from http://www.kith.org/logos/words/upper/D.html it's from the Yiddish word for "five" which, though amsuing, is still not bad ass enough for me to bribe a bouncer with. "Sawbuck" at least sounds cool. "fin" sounds too much like either "Finn", in which case I'm a drunk Scandanavian or the name of a fish from Finding Nemo.
