I am reading a short story by Stephen Leacock, where the character asks to be given his $56 in “fifties” and “sixes”. I think maybe I misunderstood/translated it wrong, what kind of nonsense are “sixes”? Went to Google it. Indeed, Banque Nationale had issued $6 and $7 bills shortly before this story was written.
