Twitter. What is the global version of 'exchequer'? Or is exchequer usable as a way of describing the coffers of every country?
@beck_smith treasury or fiscus, no? Some places (e.g. Southern Africa..) seem to use fiscus as more of a normal word than we do.

@MForstater Treasury is tricky when it comes to pluralising it. I think fiscus is used much more elsewhere - but feels a little alien here. -
@beck_smith@MForstater "fisc" is standard term in eg NL (presumably shorthand for fiscus) - 7 more replies
