Card money — not playing cards repurposed as currency, but a formal system of colonial IOUs cut from cardstock and signed by the intendant — had been used in New France since 1685, when Governor Denonville ran short of coin waiting for the annual supply ship from France. The 24 Livres denomination belongs to the later, more regularized phase of that tradition, issued under royal domain authority as the colonial administration struggled to manage chronic coin shortages without authorization to mint local currency.
Redemption was perennially delayed, and by the 1750s accumulated card money debt had ballooned to over 16 million livres — much of it never honored after the British conquest.
