When used in spoken Chinese, "块" can also the measure word for money, e.g. 三块 means "3 yuan" (Please check out this word too: 元 [yuan2] Chinese Yuan).
The measure word "块" can also refer to pieces or lumps. You may use these nouns after 块 (in the parenthesis, I marked the English translation followed by the Pinyin):
肉 (meat, rou4),蛋糕 (cake, dan4gao1),面包 (bread, mian4bao1),奶酪 (cheese, nai3lao4),金子 (gold, jin1zi5),石头 (stone,rock, shi2tou5),土 (earth, tu3), etc. To find out more examples, please refer to the other entry of 块 in our dictionary.:)

The most common way to use 块 (kuài) in a sentence is as a measure word for money. For example, one might say 一块钱 (yī kuài qián) meaning "one yuan". 块 (kuài) is used to indicate the amount of money being discussed, similar to how "dollar" is used in English.

元 (yuán) - This is the official term for the basic monetary unit in China, equivalent to the English word "yuan". It is also commonly used in spoken language as a synonym for 块.
