cash
⋅ Cash is money in the form of notes and coins. If you need
cash to spend, you withdraw it from your bank account,
using a cashpoint (UK) or cash machine. Another word for
a machine that dispenses cash is “ATM”, which stands for
“automated teller machine”.
⋅ The cash desk or cash register in a shop is the desk where
you pay for the things you want to buy. There you can either
“pay by card” or pay in cash, i.e. using notes and coins. In
British English, a cash desk is also called a “till”.
⋅ Petty cash means the notes and coins that are used by an
organization or company to make small payments in cash
when necessary. This may be kept in a cash box, which is a
strong box that can also be locked and is used specially for
this purpose.
⋅ In some competitions, you can win a cash prize. This is a
sum of money paid out to you directly in cash. If someone
pays you in cash for a job that you do — to avoid the
payment of taxes, for example — you are paid cash in hand.
⋅ The amount of money coming into and going out of a bank
account is called a cash flow. Someone who is short of
money may be said to have cash-flow problems.money
⋅ Parents often give their children a small amount of money^
to spend as they choose. This is called pocket money. The
children might keep this in a money box or a “piggy bank”,
which has a slot in the top, where coins can be inserted.
⋅ If you spend money on pointless things, you are said to
waste money.
⋅ If you collect money for a good cause, to help people in need
or for an important purpose, you raise money.
⋅ The money you can win in a competition is called prize
money.
⋅ If companies move money between bank accounts and
other companies to hide the fact that it was earned illegally,
they commit the crime of money laundering — in other
words, “cleaning” the money of its dirty, illegal past.- (^) 10.
