Yard \ Slang for one billion currency units. Used particularly in currency trading, e.g. for Japanese yen since on billion yen only equals approximately US$10 million. It is clearer to say, Im a buyer of a yard of yen, than to say, Im a buyer of a billion yen, which could be misheard as, Im a buyer of a million yen.
