I wish I could bring in some green ones.

I cannot bring in the green ones.

I'm making tons of the green ones.

Are these proper English/American English sentences? Can you use "green ones" to mean "money"? I've failed to find it looking it up on Wikitionary, Dictionary.com and others.

Is it only "the greens"? Not "the green ones"?


Solution 1:

I have never heard an American say 'green ones' for money. What Americans do say is 'green.'

I wish I could bring in some green

That would work. I would not expect it to work in other English speaking countries because their currency isn't all green.
