/Sounds like 'TEH-hah'/
A hundred-peso bill in Mexico — street slang for the note most people flash first when paying. Asking for a teja means asking for a hundred pesos; it's the everyday currency of tacos, bus rides, and quick purchases on the corner.
"¿Me prestas una teja para el camión? → "Can you lend me a hundred pesos for the bus?"
"Solo traigo una teja y no me alcanza. → "I only have a hundred pesos and it's not enough."
