sawbuck
X-legged wood holder
A sawbuck is a ten-dollar bill, from the X-shaped ends of a sawhorse (a sawbuck in its original sense) resembling the Roman numeral for ten.
The term is dated American slang: He slipped the doorman a sawbuck.
The carpentry meaning—a frame for holding wood while sawing—persists in hardware stores.
