'Be a licence to print money' có từ licence là giấy phép, môn bài, và print là in, xuất bản; vì thế 'be a licence to print money' nghĩa đen là giấy phép in tiền, hay nghĩa bóng là một công ty hay hoạt động mà mang lại cho người chủ sở hữu rất nhiều tiền, trở nên giàu có mà không mất nhiều công sức.
Ví dụ
