I've never heard of that being a slang word for a five dollar bill.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 11:41 Is ’fin’, to describe a five dollar bill current slang or archaic?
Thanks

FIN certainly used to be a slang word for a $5 bill. However, in the last few years, slang terms have escalated many times over. It's actually to the point where certain check sites have sprung up offering explanation. Check the Urban Dictionary! The Internet rightfully earns a great deal of the blame for these new words. All of the social media sites, as well as chat sites and cell phone chat have made shortened versions of many words more convenient to use. In addition to newly invented words, punctuation and sentence structure are also greatly involved.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 11:41 Is ’fin’, to describe a five dollar bill current slang or archaic?
