dead presidents
Bills in wallets
Dead presidents is slang for U.S. paper currency, referring to the portraits of former presidents printed on bills.
The phrase emphasizes money as an object of pursuit: I'm just trying to get some dead presidents.
Common in hip-hop and urban speech since the 1990s, though the usage dates back further.
