foreign money

Another nation's tender

Foreign money is currency from another country—dollars to a European, euros to an American.

The term often appears in political contexts suggesting outside interference: foreign money in our elections, foreign money influencing the campaign.

It can also simply mean cash you need to exchange when traveling abroad.
