How to sign “Cash” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Cash” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Curl your dominant hand into a flattened O, thumb and fingertips nearly touching.
  2. Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your torso as a landing pad.
  3. Tap the flattened O hand down onto the flat palm once or twice.
  4. Keep the tapping hand's palm facing down and the base palm facing up.
  5. Keep a neutral face; the quick tap carries the whole meaning.

Practice tip

The same sign as MONEY — context tells listeners you mean cash specifically.

Fingerspell “Cash”

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
