guineas
Twenty-one shilling pieces
Guineas is the plural of guinea, a British gold coin worth 21 shillings, last minted in 1813 but long used as a unit of account for professional fees and luxury goods: The painting sold for five hundred guineas.
Guinea pigs are small rodents kept as pets or used in laboratory research—hence guinea pig for any test subject: I volunteered to be a guinea pig for the new treatment.
Guinea is also offensive slang for an Italian or Italian American.
