English speaking Dopers: "Banknotes" or "Bills"?

[MattTheCroc]

Aside from that, our terminology is very dull. When we decimalised in 1966, we lost all the wonderful slang terms for the different denominations. Occasionally, you’ll hear somebody call a $20 note a redback, but that’s about the extent of it.

I dunno. I call the $100 note a “Baron Von Greenback” because of the guy on the front.

Or, rather, the back, as that site helpfully pointed out to me after I’d already gone and posted the message.
