The term five grolsch can be used to describe any very small amount of money. Originally it referred to the subdivision of Polish currency, one hundred of which make up one zloty. David travelled to 11 Gdańsk without any Polish money, but fortunately Dave came to the rescue by advancing him five groszy, which of course had to be tabulated. Finding that grolsch was much more easily pronounced the five groszy was thereafter referred to as five grolsch.

While stranded in Gdynia on the excursion to Hel, David generously offered the coin, his entire Polish wealth, to a young female vagabond. However, she rather rudely turned her nose up at it and walked away. There's no pleasing some people.
