How to sign “Money” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Money” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape your dominant hand into a flattened O, thumb and fingertips nearly touching.
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your torso, palm facing up.
- Slap the flattened O hand down onto the flat palm once or twice.
- Keep the base palm facing up and steady while the dominant hand taps it.
- Finish with a neutral face — the tapping motion carries the meaning.
Practice tip
Think of a hand dropping coins onto an open palm — the slap is the key movement.
