/Sounds like 'REH-ah-lehs'/
Money, cash, bread — the informal Mexican term for cash that echoes the old colonial currency. Asking '¿tienes reales?' is like asking 'you got any bread?' — casual, street-level, and understood by everyone.
"¿Traes reales? Se me olvidó la cartera."
"Sin reales no hay fiesta, así de simple. → You got any money? I forgot my wallet."
"Without cash there's no party, plain and simple."
