Talbins is a French slang term for money or cash. It's a less common, more informal word than 'argent' and adds a streetwise, authentic flavor to the lyrics.
In the song, the artist talks about needing a machine to count his 'talbins' because he makes too many mistakes counting it himself, highlighting the large sums of money he's dealing with. This word choice immediately immerses the listener in the song's specific context of wealth and street life.
