A Luca is the same as saying a "G" in English. Not sure if it's used only in Argentina or anywhere else. Does anyone know?

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me chris!

In Spain, 500 Euro bills used to be called Bin Ladens, because everybody knew they existed but nobody had ever laid eyes on one...

I have heard this term in Peru. I do not know if it is used somewhere else.
Una luca = 1000 soles
Una luca verde = 1000 dollars

Yeah California, in Argentina we use "Luca" too, Regarding $1.000, and "palo" for $1.000.000

and, of course, "palo verde" when it refers to USD.

So a "palo verde" means a million US dollars? I think I've got a couple palos veredes lying around my living room haha
