Grand in itself supposedly comes from the nickname for the old $1,000 USD bill.
It had GRover ClevelAND on the front and the word grand obviously also supports the imagery of a high denomination bill.
Anyway, just wondered about the G thing because I'm seeing more and more people use it in the UK.
(I don't have much going on in the office at the moment, so apologies...)
Cleveland appeared on the $1,000 bill between 1928 and 1934
The first mention of "grand" to mean 1,000 (usually dollars) was in 1915
Whatever. With your facts. And your evidence.
