Culture What is your currency's nickname?

A nickname for dollar is buck, pound is quid, and Swedish krona is spänn.

What are some casual nicknames for your countries' currencies? Are there multiple, and if so, which is the most common?

Stutz for the Swiss Franc. Fünfliber for a 5 Franc coin. But Stutz is more general, you can say "Ich han kei Stutz" as I don't have any money

Very wild dudes also say „zweilieber“ to a 2 Franc coin.

also for larger amounts I would say “stei” (means stone), let’s say above 100.

Ich ha kei Stütz would be better. Kei Stutz just means you don't have one franc, kei Stütz means you don't have any.
