coffee money
Small cash gift
Coffee money is a small amount of cash for minor expenses—originally enough to buy a cup of coffee, now any modest sum for incidentals.
It often refers to petty cash or a small tip: Here's some coffee money for your trouble.
In some contexts, coffee money is a euphemism for a bribe or informal payment to smooth transactions: The permit went through faster with a little coffee money.
