Anglicized from Scottish Gaelic Mac Fhionnlaoich, "son of Fionnlaoch (=Fair Warrior)". The dollar-bill sense is from the portrait of William McKinley featured on it.

noun

  1. 1

    rareA United States five-hundred-dollar bill.

    Presidents: Cash money, folding bills, the green stuff, cabbage, lettuce, bucks, dough, i.e., Washingtons ($1), Jeffersons ($2), Lincolns ($5), Jacksons ($20), Grants ($50), McKinleys ($500), Clevelands ($1,000), Madisons ($5,000), and Wilsons ($100,000).

    Write an equation for each relevant clue. Solve by substitution. […] h. 10 Grants make a McKinley (M_c).

    Every time I go into a bank I put down a Jackson and I ask for 10 $2 bills. Sometimes I get them, most often not. We don't need a $1 bill, I welcome the $1 coin. Print more $2 bills. What we really need are McKinleys and Clevelands - $500 and $1,000 bills.

    Cheapskates! USE DEUCES! The girls love them. (They love Lincolns, Hamiltons, Jacksons, Grants, Franklins, McKinleys, Clevelands, Madisons, and Chases, too. Too bad you couldn't give them Wilsons.)

  2. 2

    historicalA processor of Intel’s first Itanium 2 brand, code-named McKinley.

    This may or may not be true, but the masses are going to believe it and buy Merceds ( or hold off buying anything ) on the promise that in a year or two they'll be able to upgrade to McKinleys that will blow away anything the competition has.

    The cost of the Alpha processors in a current mid-range or better AlphaServer is a *small* percentage of the whole. Replace them with 'McKinleys and the box price won't change significantly (unless you try to recoup the cost of developing the McKinley version, in which case the price will go *up*) - even if you *give the McKinleys away*.

    We'll see, INTEL are playing their cards very close to their chest, but $1500 'low-end' McKinleys don't sounds like they are going to compete in any meaningful way with the P4 line to me.

    That comment was refering^([sic]) to the systems with 1.5 GHz Itanium 2 6M CPUs (aka Madison), not the older McKinleys.
