A slang term for a quantity of money, often decided to be 100 or 100,000 gold.

It was originally coined by the Solacian alchemist Whyvor who defined it as the amount of money gypsies would pay to take naughty children off of their parents' hands, using his lazy nephew Benjamin as a standard of measure. While it is unknown exactly how Whyvor calculated this standard, the Solace public records show that his brother and sister-in-law retired at an early age and now live comfortably on an estate in Mervue.
