The note has been nicknamed a "fin", a term from Yiddish פֿינף (finf), פֿינעף (finef), meaning "five;" this term derived from underworld slang and originally referred to the British five-pound note. It was first recorded being used to refer to the American bill in 1925.[5][6] It is also occasionally referred to as a “fiver”.[7]
