1923 Dominion of Canada 25 Cents "Shinplasters"

Description

Dominion of Canada - 25 cent Currency – Serial number 277555 – Ottawa, July 2
nd
, 1923
1923 was the third and final issue of Canada's 25-cent notes released beginning in 1923 and continued until the Bank of Canada was created in 1935. This issue differed in that it was not only redesigned from its predecessors, but it is also the only one to feature serial numbers. A total of 7 million of these 1923-dated shinplasters were issued before the Bank of Canada took over.
Many attribute the expression "shinplasters" to the use of fractional U.S. notes by soldiers of the Revolutionary War period to prevent their boots from chafing. The term was first used in Canada with reference to the merchants' scrip which appeared in abundance from 1837 to 1838.  Subsequently it came to be applied to the 25-cent Dominion of Canada notes from the time of their first appearance in 1870.
