G'day Hrothgar,

I never heard any slang term for the Australian ten shilling note - but I did hear the term "brick" for the bigger (and somewhat browner ... ?) £10 note ... even if I didn't get to handle many of them!

I never heard anyone actually use "toadskin" for any of our banknotes ... but the usual comment on the term, in Four Little Johnny Cakes was that it was the pound - and that from the green colour. Of course, we weren't talking about cane toads ... back then!

Regards,

Bob
