Yankee Lira

1) The US Dollar in the 21st century. A reference to the US Dollar's instability as a world currency, especially related to the Canadian Loonie in 2007, Euro and Yen in 2000 - 2002 and again 2008 - 2011.

2) Throwaway money, especially when you are trying to get someone to give you some.

Earliest reference "The Economist" September 27, 2007

1) No, your house probably won't be worth more as long as we use Yankee Lira to finance our debt, run huge trade deficits and massive federal budget deficits.

2) Hey, give me some Yankee Lira for the jukebox.

Lira

Name of the Turkish currency that is being used since Ottoman Empire, from Latin "libra". It equals to a hundred kuruş (qurush, sub-currency of it. From German "groschen" which is also from Latin).

Üç yüz kuruş üç liraya tekâbül eder - Three hundred qurushes correspond to three liras.

Bu insanlar üç kuruş için birbirlerine girerler - These people would fight with each other for 3 qurushes (Rare usage, in this case it refers to a very small amount of money)

Üç kuruşluk adamlar/insanlar - Men/People worth three qurushes (Which is also rare, indicates the despicableness of those men/people, usually men)
