Playing Card Money, Canada, New France, 1729-49 12Livres, PMG G4 Net. Canada, New France Playing Card Money 12 Livres S107 1729-49 with this 12 Livres example carrying the signatures of the governor and intendant similar to those seen on 1735 issues as illustrated in the 2010 Charlton Catalog of Canadian Government Paper Money. The date, which has faded substantially, prominently displays a 17 with the last two digits difficult to discern. The government seal remains strong and there is a notch at top center. In March 1729, in response to requests from the public, the government received permission from the King to reintroduce card money. These cards would be redeemed each year for goods or for bills of exchange drawn on funds appropriated for the support of the colony that would be payable in cash in France. The cards, which were strictly limited, were legal tender for all payments and replaced the ordonnances in circulation. Confidence in this new card money was initially high. With the supply limited and convertible into bills of exchange payable in France, the cards were an economical alternative to the transfer of specie across the Atlantic. Gold and silver began to accumulate in New France and stayed. The government, however, remained financially constrained and began to rely again on ordonnances and another form of Treasury notes called acquits to fund its operations. With issuance tightly controlled, card money traded at a premium for a time as the government increased its issuance of Treasury notes to pay for its operations. But as French finances deteriorated and the redemption of Treasury notes was repeatedly postponed, trust i card money was also undermined.
