BUIP087: Using the Denomination 'Cash' for One Hundred Satoshi

During the end of Shishido's discussion he briefly mentions one the goals he is currently working on which is changing the name for smaller fractions of bitcoin cash from 'Bits' to 'Cash.' Essentially, Shishido has submitted a BUIP request to change the terminology in bitcoin cash to "cash" (CSH) as the standard term for 100 (one hundred) 'satoshi' or 1/1,000,000 (one one-millionth) of a bitcoin cash (BCH). Shishido explains his motivation for wanting to change the current terminology.
