Only in the context of what you drew. If you think about it, "big money" is
clearly an idiom: if you use a synonym, e.g., "large money", the meaning
changes drasticly.

(Back when they used to have a Greek version of "Wheel of Fortune", the girl
turning the letters did not say "come on, big money!" in Greek.)
