The slang term "sawbuck" for money originates from the term for a sawbuck, a wooden frame used to hold lumber while it is being cut. The name comes from the Roman numeral "X," which resembles the shape of the frame and also symbolizes ten dollars. This connection likely arose in the 19th century when "sawbuck" began to be used informally to refer to a ten-dollar bill.
Double sawbuck[Sawbuck is slang for $10]Not in America; I have never heard that used and I've lived in 7 states across the nation. In America $20.00 might be called "twenty bucks," "twenty big ones," or, if you're referring to the bill itself, "a twenty."Another slang term for a $20 bill is a "Jackson" in reference to the man who is displayed on it. "Double sawbuck" is an antiquated term that has not been used for decades.
A sawbuck is worth 10 dollars. It got its name from the carpentry tool we call a work horse. Its legs resembled an X which is 10 in Roman Numerals.
