simoleon

Old-timey dollar slang

Simoleon is slang for a dollar, almost always used in the plural: The guy walked away with fifty thousand simoleons.

The word sounds dated and jocular, evoking old gangster films or carnival barkers.

It appears occasionally in games and fiction as a generic currency name.
