fractional currency
Fractional currency, also known as shinplasters, refers to paper money issued in denominations smaller than the standard unit of currency. It is generally equivalent to coin denominations and is used when there is a shortage of coins, or when the cost of producing coins exceeds their face value. This type of currency was widely used in the United States during the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. Fractional currency can also refer to decimal currency systems where the subunits of a main unit are in a ratio of 1/10 or 1/100.
