Stick a pony in me pocket,
Grab the suitcase from the van

No way would a pony fit in my pocket, not even a shetland.

Jacks - £5
Bullseye - £50
Ton - £100
Grand - £1000 (yes - everyone knows that)
Cockle - £10

Might have cockle & jacks the wrong way round

I thought modern rhyming slang was:

Ayrton - £10
Deep Sea - £5

Gary - I used to regard a pony as meaning £50, but after much argument I've had to accept that the majority of people infer £25 from pony. However, I'm sure there are a significant number of pony = £50 punters out there. After all, what good is £25 to anyone? There's no £25 note either...
