AKKAS is valid in Collins, not in North America — 13 points
It depends on the list you play by. AKKAS is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 13 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does AKKAS mean in Scrabble?
noun
slangBritish
Money; cash, especially in informal British speech (also spelled ackers).
Akkas is an informal British word for money, most often heard among people who talk about having plenty of akkas or being short of akkas. The word is normally treated as a plural-only term, much like cash or funds, rather than something counted one akka at a time. It likely reached English through soldiers serving in Egypt, where a local word for coins was reshaped into forces slang.
