Benjamins is a slang term used to refer to one hundred-dollar bills.

This term originates from the image of Benjamin Franklin, who is featured on the front of the one hundred-dollar bill. Franklin’s face becomes synonymous with the currency itself, and thus, Benjamins came to represent hundred-dollar bills.

Example 1:
I just made a big sale and now I’ve got a pocket full of Benjamins.”

Example 2:
She’s always flashing her Benjamins, but I’ve heard she’s in a lot of debt.”
