bank notes
Bills in wallets
Bank notes are paper currency issued by a central bank or government, representing a promise to pay the bearer a specified sum.
The term distinguishes paper money from coins: She paid in bank notes rather than by card.
In American English, bill is more common; bank note sounds slightly formal or British.
