Idioms about money

​What does that mean?

​What is an Idiom?

It is a phrase or group of words with a special meaning which is different from the meanings of the separate words.​

For example: "All that glitters is not gold"​, meaning that appearances can be misleading and that everything that looks priceless or pricy, doesn't have to be.
