Dylan Edwards
: or perhaps "shell out a few quid", to make it sound thoroughly British. I like "shell out", though I find it difficult to choose the verb without more context.

To lay down (the money)
This is a common expression, and simply using "money" avoids your US/British currency issue.

cough up some (the) dosh
Just another suggestion.
I've recently heard the word "dosh", ("I've got no dosh"). It has been a familiar word for as long as I can remember.
There's also "wonga" - not a word I would use much myself, but it's widely known as a word for money, as in www.wonga.com.

to peal a few off the stash
This one is just another expression from MultiTran Dic.

"Fork over" isn't part of British usage as I know it. "Fork out" and "hand over" are possibilities.
Там у них вместо "баксов" - "квиды" (quid)
