How to Sign "Money"

“Money” is signed by tapping your hand into your other palm, as if exchanging cash:

• Place your non‑dominant hand palm‑up in front of you.
• Form your dominant hand into a flat‑“O” shape or “G” shape.
• Tap the dominant fingertips onto the non‑dominant palm once or twice.

Tips

• Think of paying—fingers pressing onto palm like bills stacking.
• Tap smoothly—don’t tap too hard or too softly.

Common Mistakes

• Using only fingertips or wrong handshape—flat “O” or “G” is standard.
• Missing the non‑dominant palm—contact is essential.

Think: “Money changes hands—tap like exchange.”
