its not bugs its a bucks and not in usa .
u can use this term anywhere in the world without knowing the there currency name,
ex 1 dollar = 1 bucks in usa
10 repees = 10 bucks in India
12 pond = 12 bucks in UK

The ten dollar bill is a "saw buck." Where did that come from? I don't know, but it may be used as an argument to the "hides" theory of origin.

It's possible that "Bucks" came from a slang version of Greenbacks, which at once point is what our old currency was called.
So, possibly, Greenbacks were called 'Backs, and eventually slang into Bucks.
Just my idea. Hope it helps.

its bucks not bugs
the term originated in the days when deer or buckskins were commodities of exchange and fur traders spoke about the value of things in bucks.

I've never heard that one. It might be just in one geographical area.
But there are certainly a lot of casual names for American money.

They are called BUCKS...not bugs.
I think this because way back, animals (bucks) were traded as currency or something.
