  2. Brennan: coins = cash

    OED Wikipedia In fact according to the OED, the entymology of cash is: A name applied by Europeans to various coins of low value in the East Indies and China...The basis of the monetary system which prevailed in Southern India up to 1818; in this system 80 cash = 1 fanam, 42 fanams = 1 star pagoda
