(slang) A (pouch or unit of) mackerel, used as food and currency in prison.
To make this more intuitive, let's revisit our prison mackerel example, just after the Red Cross has lavished fifty new pouches of mackerel on each inmate. […] We would expect prison prices in macks to rise roughly in proportion to the increase in the supply of mackerel induced by the humanitarian shipment. But what if there have been several stabbings with shanks made out of sharpened toothbrushes and the warden is threatening a lockdown? As a precaution against losing access to the canteen, many of the prisoners might decide to keep more mackerel under their beds. The speed at which macks circulated for trades would slow down as pouches piled up under bunks. A doubling of the supply of macks in the prison would not lead to a doubling of prices, since many of the new macks would be out of circulation rather than chasing prison goods. 2016, Charles Wheelan, Naked Money: A Revealing Look at Our Financial System:
"Macks" [...] don't divide very well, so they're not as useful for transactions that cost less than one “mack” or require a partial “mack.” So “macks” are reasonably good at being money, but they're not perfect. 2011, Chris Martenson, The Crash Course: The Unsustainable Future of Our Economy, page 42:
“Nothing very special, sir. He had a mack or coat over his arm, and a trilby hat. He wore a tweed suit, sir, I think.” 1928, Lawrence R. Bourne, chapter 13, in Well Tackled!:
