> Does anyone say "fiver" for $5 or "tenner" for $10 in the USA, or is it only a British thing?

I remember reading "fiver" in Archie comics all the time. And these particular comics were about... hmmm... 20 or 30 years old. But I still see it occassionally in more recent comics.

So some cartoonist, somewhere must be using it...
