Pièce canadienne valant vingt-cinq cents

OBS

Des pièces de «trente sous» ont déjà eu cours sous le Régime français. On cessa d'en frapper, mais l'expression est demeurée accolée à la pièce de la valeur le plus près, soit la pièce de vingt-cinq cents.

OBS

Par exemple: Échanger une pièce de vingt-cinq cents pour deux de dix cents et une de cinq cents (langue soutenue). Échanger quatre trente-sous pour une piastre (fam.) [Qc].
