banknotes
Printed legal tender
Banknotes are paper currency issued by a central bank or government, representing a specified monetary value.
The term emphasizes the physical form—actual printed bills rather than coins or digital funds: She kept a stack of banknotes in the safe.
Outside the U.S., banknote is the standard term for what Americans usually call bills.
