Skin In The Gane> jump

[sagehen]

 I seem to have lost the first posts on this thread.  I remember waiting to
see when someone would mention that "skin" was at one time a term for  a
bill.  I wasn't sure which denomination.  OED yields one dollar from M20.
Since "a skin in the game" seems pretty transparent, I'm wondering what the
original question was?
