Portuguese - Brazil In Almodóvar's film (Tacones Lejanos) we read the following dialogue: "Cuanto ofrecéis?" -- "Mil cocos". Is "coco" a word for money, dough? Or does it means simply "coconut"? Actually, some men want to buy a girl, and the stepfather asks "How much will you offer me". So...

Madrid Spain-Spanish I've never heard the word "cocos" in Spain meaning "money". The only word I know, and it's not used anymore since the change from pesetas to euros, is "cucas". Cucas = pesetas. L
