A d-note is US slang for one thousand dollars — the D standing for the Roman numeral for 1,000. It sits in the same family as c-note (a hundred-dollar bill) and g (a grand), giving you a tidy Roman-numeral system for cash amounts. You'll mostly hear d-note in street-level financial conversations, rap lyrics, or anywhere people need a shorthand for talking money without spelling it out. Dropping a d-note used to feel massive; inflation has humbled it somewhat.
He asked to borrow a d-note and swore he'd pay it back by Friday — it's been three weeks.
