I didn’t realize grand for 1000 was slang. That one made it to the USA too.

  I think it probably crossed the atlantic in the other direction; I'm pretty sure that "grand" for a thousand didn't originate here.

    Americans also say “large” for $1000, and “grand” is French for “large” so the travel might have been in the opposite direction.
