In 1870, while waiting for new 25-cent Silver coins to arrive from the Royal Mint in London, the Dominion of Canada issued a temporary fractional note. It wasn't long before people began calling it a "shinplaster" after the notes that American soldiers allegedly used to line their boots during the American Revolution. Each of the three different 25¢ shinplasters features a different portrait of Britannia on it.
