Slang terms: As in the Netherlands, slang terms that were previously applied to punts have been carried over to the euro currency. For example, "quid" (same in singular and plural), which once referred to an Irish pound (and in the UK still refers to a British pound) is used as a synonym for "euro". Also, "fiver" and "tenner", which once referred to five and ten pounds respectively, now refer to five and ten euro either in the sense of the specific €5 and €10 banknotes, or in the broader sense of an equivalent sum of money.
