Absolutely! The term "10 dollar bill" often has several slang terms associated with it. In the U.S., it's sometimes referred to as a "sawbuck," which was originally derived from the need to pay for a sawbuck's worth of wood. Nowadays, a "sawbuck" or a "tenner" commonly refers to a 10 dollar bill. Additionally, given that Alexander Hamilton's face adorns the U.S. 10 dollar bill, it's sometimes playfully called a "Hamilton."
But, bear in mind that slang can be very regional and era-specific. For instance, in the UK, they may use different slang like a "tenner" for 10 pound note. Similarly, in Australia, a "tenner" refers to their own 10 dollar bill. So, slang really depends on where you are and who you're talking to. Isn't language fascinating?
