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.
