five-finger
Twenty-five cents, named for the number of pennies that fit comfortably between the thumb and the forefinger. This term originated in the United States where it was used primarily in barter trade. The term was widely recognized among the working class and the poor, who frequently did not have access to formal banking and relied on cash or trade. This term is also known in the form of "five-finger discount", which is a euphemism for stealing.
