The phrase "cold hard cash" was coined by merchants and traders who were used to handling coins that, because they had a high gold and silver content, were warm and soft and did not wear very well. When more durable metals came into use it was generally noticed that they were cold and hard.
In the cut and thrust of commerce a lot of transactions rely on the use of cheques and various forms of credit. Where these are not favoured the phrase "cold hard cash" applies to both coins and notes which are immediately available, or ready, as a form of payment.

Don't know how to express it in a sentence so let's make it a joke. " Q:Why did the robber put his money in the freezer? A: Because he wanted cold hard cash!"

Get the Not Very Cash Moneymug. A common way of saying that one is honest with other people as with thyne self. Another spin on said phrase in that you are always correct and true in your said honesty. The phrase has been seeming to spread like wild fire or a flaming case of herpes at A.A. meetings. One tool says this stupid phrase and everyone starts saying it, like the mother fucker just started some new fad and everyone was to get on the bandwagon.
Tool 1 : Since I've been coming here I have learned to become more honest, you know cash register honest. Now just your normal basic honest will no longer due.
Tool 2 : Amen to that, I feel the same way.
Dude : What the fuck does cash register honest even mean, you two are fuckin retarted.
