cash

Bills and coins

Cash is money in physical form—coins and paper currency rather than checks, cards, or digital transfers: Do you have cash or should I put it on the card?

To cash a check is to exchange it for currency.

To cash in on something is to profit from it.

To cash out is to convert assets to money, often when leaving a game or investment.
