The Canadian 25 cent bank note was colloquially known as a "shin plaster" due to its small size and low value. The term is believed to have originated in the 19th century, when the notes were often used to pay for minor expenses, akin to putting a plaster on a small injury. The phrase reflects the informal and somewhat humorous attitude towards the note's worth, as well as its practical use in everyday transactions.
