chump change
Barely worth mentioning
Chump change is a trivially small amount of money—pocket change, spare coins, nothing worth getting excited about.
The term implies the amount is so insignificant that only a chump would consider it real money: A thousand dollars? That's chump change to him.
Often used to dismiss what others might consider substantial sums.
