buckaroo

(n). A small, usually square, patch of denim that Canadians use as currency. They think of them much as we do dollar bills, however, because of their bulk, they only carry around a few at a time and emblazen them with a brand denoting their worth at the time of purchase. There is no regulating body overseeing the practice of branding buckaroos, so the branded imprint can range anywhere from a semi-truck crossing a frozen lake to a moose laying in front of a fire drinking a Molson. Canadians have so far not been known to counterfeit their buckaroos, although most Americans reject the worthless denim in favor of American dollars or even Euros as buckaroos are not an internationally recognized currency.
