[Corpora-List] Numpties and bennies

I've heard the term "benny" used to refer to a $100-bill, which
features Ben Franklin's face on the front.  I think it's (jazz?)
musician slang:  a weeknight gig that pays two bennies is rare.  It's
not productive; I have not heard other bill denominations  called
"georgies," "andies," or "abies."
