Bucks is used quite a bit - I bet he paid beaucoup bucks for that, could you loan me a couple of bucks? I don't think I use "dough" a lot, but it's common enough.

Here in Chicago, for example, "paper" and "cash money" are the terms most often used. Also, these are terms used by young people. You'll look a bit silly using them if you're, say... older than 35, or aren't very hip.
