DC-24a 1923 Dominion of Canada 25-cent Shinplaster, Hyndman, Authorized, Fine (F12) Tears, dirt, or damaged
Shinplasters, in the 19th century, were low-value paper banknotes, which came into circulation due to widespread metal currency shortages. The nickname comes from vinegar-soaked bandages that were used as a cheap and easy remedy for sores -- "plaster," in this context, meaning "bandage". Soldiers would stuff these in their boots to ease the chafing on their feet and shins. When low-denomination banknotes started circulating in early 19th-century America, the joke was that they were more valuable as bandages for sores than as actual money. The nickname jumped to Canadian 25-cent shinplasters in 1870.
