0Hi Ann,02br
02br
00I've never heard "dosh" before. If you used "bread" you would sound rather dated. 02br
02br
00Bucks is used quite a bit - I bet he paid beaucoup bucks for that, could you loan me a couple of bucks?02br
02br
00I don't think I use "dough" a lot, but it's common enough.0-

00Cash money (used as one word)02br

00These are all in current usage, but some terms are more prevalent in certain areas. Here in Chicago, for example, "paper" and "cash money" are the terms most often used.02br

00Also, these are terms used by you

Hi. "dosh" is definitely not used in the US. Some US slang terms for money include: dough, cheese, cabbage, lettuce, bucks, greenbacks, etc.

dough - is very common slang in American English for money
bread is used, but less often. For example, the man of the house is usually considered the "bread winner."
dosh is unknown in American English.

Quid would be understood in American English as a British term for money, but is not used in the US.
Buck is commonly used in the US.
