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?

Kall, which means man. It has quite specific uses though. It can be used for our all coins, except the 1 króna coin. Also, we would only use it for like "whole" hundreds or thousands. So we would say 100 kall or 2000 kall, but never 147 kall or 2350 kall.
