I remember a similar argument over "currency" or such many years ago.

Fair question, I based my feedback on the common everyday usage of the word "cash," rather than any current dictionary definition. Now that your question has prompted me to actually look up the legal and dictionary definitions, it indeed includes coinage. Well. Maybe Glenn was brought back later because someone asked that same question ;D

I at first matched the male contestant's answer of "Cash to burn," although I quickly realized that the show was more likely looking for "Money to burn." But still: Is there any good reason the show could justify that "Cash to burn" was a wrong answer?

The short answer is no, but "Money to burn" is the more common phrase, and "cash" would likely be spelled out differently. Unless there is something written in the show bible or contestant warm-ups, an invitation back may be in order.

The host (whether it's Narz or Trebek) often says the answer has to be exactly what the judges are looking for, so I'm sure they're covered there.
Otm Shank:
Of course the rule is that you must match what is on the judge's card exactly. But this one just didn't smell right. For a game that is built on soundalikes, it's a bit lazy that they just illustrated the word, and one with logical synonyms. (At the least, put M + honey on the top line, which is still lazy.)
While they can't accept any alternate answer, the ambiguity of the answer really should have resulted in a bring-back for the contestant.
catnap1972:
Jack often says "when you see (this) we know it means (that)"...like how a chest equals "just", so would it have been standard that when they showed the graphic of cash currency it meant "money" ?
