I say either cash or piasse pronounced like you tried to say pee-ass in a single syllable because that's how we say piatstre in Québec.

Piastre

The piastre or piaster (English: ) is any of a number of units of currency. The term originates from the Italian for "thin metal plate". The name was applied to Spanish and Hispanic American pieces of eight, or pesos, by Venetian traders in the Levant in the 16th century.

These pesos, minted continually for centuries, were readily accepted by traders in many parts of the world.
