> Does anyone say "fiver" for $5 or "tenner" for $10 in the USA, or is it only a British thing?

I live in the southern USA along the East Coast, and I've never heard anyone say these; I've only read them in British texts. So from my experience, it's not in my region's vernacular. I don't know if it's used elsewhere in country, but I haven't heard it on TV, in a movie, or on the radio, either.
