A penny for your thoughts?
Need to spend a penny.

In for a penny; in for a pound.

A penny saved is a penny earned
A fool and his money are soon parted
I wonder why there are so few sayings involving decimal coins?
That is the sixty four dollar question.
To coin a phrase; two sides of the same coin.

Two sides of the same coin

•He who pays the piper calls the tune

And what about the quantity of gold in seawater? Google it and find out how much untold wealth is just drifting around.
Of course no one has found an economical method of extracting it (plenty of scams though).
What about the Boys scouts "Bob a job"
filthy lucre
buck private
a bob each way
worth his weight in gold
and that classic line from Blazing Saddles "You talk purdier than a 20 dolla whore"
I'm not sure that the "buck" in buck private has any coin connotation. But, thanks for the others.

The term Buck Private is an American reference to the pay of Privates in the US army (until 1941 IIRC). Their pay was a dollar (buck) a day.
In the British military you also had the Kings shilling.
Money makes the world go round
Worth a kings ransom
If you have to ask the price you can't afford it
penny dreadful
a coin for the ferryman
a licence to print money
Mr moneybags
Please don't ask for credit as refusal often offends
Wasn't the "Kings Shilling" given to anyone that enlisted at the start of one's Military career.
In accepting the "Kings Shilling", you were in actual fact 'bought by the King as being his "slave".

Not a slave, but no longer free as you were subject to the Kings Regulations in military discipline.

Don't know about the King's shilling, when you joined the army,
but here is the King's badge (button), for when you left the army.
