Cartwheel

/ˈkɑːrtwil/ noun, verb

An acrobatic move where you flip sideways with your hands and feet in the air, or a large coin that's worth a lot of money.

From 'cart' + 'wheel'—the move literally looks like a wheel rotating, which is how it got its name. As slang for money, it comes from the large silver coins that were sometimes called cartwheels.
