Big ones is casual American slang for dollars — specifically hundreds or thousands of them, depending on context. When someone says 'that'll cost you ten big ones,' they mean ten thousand dollars. The phrase has a cinematic, old-school gangster or deal-making energy to it, and it pops up in negotiations, boasts about winnings, and dramatic recounts of big purchases. It's plurale tantum — you always say 'big ones,' never 'a big one' in this sense.
(US, slang, plurale tantum) dollars.
(AU, NZ) As much as a billy will hold.
