banknote
Wallet's paper occupant
A banknote is a piece of paper currency issued by a central bank, representing a promise to pay the bearer its face value.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say bill: a twenty-dollar bill versus a twenty-pound banknote.
Banknotes replaced coins for large transactions because they're lighter and easier to handle.
