coin money
быстро богатеть, наживаться; ≈ загребать деньги лопатой, купаться в золоте
In the words of his friends… he was coining money. (M. Braddon, ‘Cloven Foot’, ch. XIV) — По словам друзей… мистер Смолендо загребал деньги лопатой.
I wouldn’t want anybody who knew me, or anybody who appreciated my work, to see some of the snows I’ve been in. But this was good. With any luck, we could have coined money with it. (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Good Companions’, book II, ch. I) — Мне не хотелось бы, чтобы люди, знающие меня и ценящие мое искусство, увидели некоторые представления, в которых мне приходится участвовать. Но на этот раз спектакль получился хороший. Если повезет, мы на нем заработаем кучу денег.
