    Thanks for the puzzle!
    • KayW 🤓6:26 · 2024-01-15T15:48:55.871Z
      Fun and clever!! EURO saved me - I had to google all the others but had a CENTS about where the meta was heading.
      • Dave C 3s · 2024-01-15T16:21:03.857Z
        Peso instead of sol through me off at first and I had to backfill to find naira.
        • Darth 🤓11:09 · 2024-01-15T16:00:00.080Z
          Lol. I got stuck on the peso in the fourth themer, but after the others I knew I had to look further and saw the Peruvian coin in there. Thanks for the fun puz.
          • MatthewL 🤓7:23 · 2024-01-15T16:55:17.922Z
            Fun one. But putting PESO and SOL right together was a bit confusing. Took a minute to sort that out. Thanks for puzzle!
            • woozy 10:26 · 2024-01-15T16:33:48.388Z
              Okay... I going to have to back solve why the S is not a P.....
              • boharr 3s · 2024-01-15T16:53:06.237Z
                I was caught in some clever misdirection and had to be evaluated in the medical tent. I was released and saw the light. Thanks for a clever puzzle.
                • Philip Chow 🤓8:10 · 2024-01-15T16:46:17.979Z
                  Loved the tie-in with “money doesn’t grow on trees” and the playful title doing double-duty!! Sol is new to me… I used Naira in a puzzle once and thought to myself this is not great fill but went with it anyway and someone commented on it so it stuck in my mind - fun puzzle thank you!
                  • Ergcat 17:29 · 2024-01-15T17:19:47.033Z
                    That was fun. I found 5 currencies in the 4 long across answers… Naira; Euro; Won; then Peso and Sol in “bagpipesolo” . I thought I was looking for NEWSPAPER so I guessed that before going in search of it in the down answers. When I couldn’t find any more currencies, I guessed NEWS. The “Peso”/ “sol” may confuse others! Thanks for the mind workout for Monday!
                    • Hector 2s · 2024-01-15T19:05:05.504Z
                      Francly, not terruble — sterling, even!
                      • whimsy 🤓12:18 · 2024-01-15T20:31:40.182Z
                        Some of the $ did grow on trees! :-)
                        Ran into the same South-of-the-Border money troubles, but went out on a limb, made the correct guess, then came here and realized what the confusion was.
                        Loved so many of the clues; thanks for the puzzle, schmidzy!
                        • Carolyn 3s · 2024-01-15T20:55:40.057Z
                          Yes, PESO tripped me up as well. In addition, I found a few other currency abbreviations that made me try NEWSPAPER at first. Lots of fun!
                          • Abide 4s · 2024-01-15T21:20:10.720Z
                            Team Easy here. Never knew the symbol for Peso was $. (I thought the double currency was a misdirect)
                            • Philip Chow 🤓8:10 · 2024-01-19T15:35:47.444Z
                              Here’s the kicker, when you google: “symbol for peso” the first hit you get is Mexican peso which is $… HOWEVER when you google “peso symbol” (which is what I did) the first hit you get is Philippine peso which is ₱… so depending on how you google it, you might have trouble finding that missing “S” with the intended mechanism
                            • imontoo 4s · 2024-01-16T00:20:13.280Z
                              Good one to start the week. Thanks for the puzzle!
                              • kymike 11s · 2024-01-16T00:18:13.849Z
                                No idea how to get to the answer. Just a wild guess based on something that popped out at me.
                                • HeadinHome 🤓1:18 · 2024-01-16T00:47:34.137Z
                                  Peso nearly tripped me up, but I was already thinking NEWSPAPER so I googled the money list and looked under the S’s! Fun puzzle, cute title, and what a great double-duty GROW ON TREES is doing!
                                  • Sally H 12:38 · 2024-01-16T01:45:32.919Z
                                    Nice!
                                    • SamKat9 🤓13:31 · 2024-01-16T02:09:31.429Z
                                      Great puzzle! I too got confused with peso next to sol lol
                                      • Qmark 3s · 2024-01-16T14:22:53.556Z
                                        Fun puzzle, thanks! Had to google to find "naira"
                                        • kurtalert 🤓5:27 · 2024-01-16T15:17:10.409Z
                                          Really fun. I had PESO instead of SOL like many others, and thought maybe the answer would actually be NEWSPAPER somehow- and, with paper being the slang for money, it would have been kind of a double meaning to the theme/answer.
                                          Good thing I tried plain old NEWS before I wasted an hour trying to find currencies in here for SAPER to fill out the remaining letters necessary to complete NEWSPAPER!
                                          • DrTom 2s · 2024-01-16T16:57:11.119Z
                                            Thanks Schmidzy (or “Pairo” as the case may be). The first one was WON, but then I saw PESO and EURO. NAIRA was the hard one but I think I have seen it before. When I got NEWP I knew I was wrong and needed an S. Your title led me in the right direction, nice start for Monday.
                                            • Cindy Heisler 4s · 2024-01-16T18:07:46.435Z
                                              I knew Euro and Peso (which didn't count, anyway), but I needed Google for the others. Great title! Thanks, Schmidzy!
                                              • Bird Lives 3s · 2024-01-17T15:53:59.115Z
                                                The comments on the forum made me think I had missed something. PESO after NEW made me think that the something was S_ PAPER. I was wrong. It was indeed that simple.
                                                • SJMcK 🤓12:40 · 2024-01-18T00:30:01.777Z
                                                  PESO in the fourth theme entry is unfair, in my opinion
                                                  • Pair O Ducks constructor · 2024-01-18T20:07:21.954Z
                                                    PESO was actually the intended mechanism, SOL was an oversight on my part (that still gets to the same place). Full reveal on Sunday!
