Lower Canada's currency - NOT 100 Pence = 1 Pound.

Lower Canada's currency was NOT a decimal currency.

It went as follows;

1 Sou = 1/2 Penny.

2 Sous = 1 Penny.

12 Pence = 1 Shilling.

20 Shillings = 1 Lower Canadian Pound.

Therefore,the 1 Sou currency tokens circulated as 1/2 Pennies.

That's right, even using tokens, Lower Canada still used the £SD (predecimal) Pound
