Please excuse my stupidity, but what the heck is a "B-I-L's" coin?

? I was going to ask the same but didn't want to seem clueless. (Thought maybe buy it later)

 

Brother-in-law

 

Meow was wondering the same thing too. Thought it was a numismatic term that Meow did not know.

 

This may help with some info.

Not a coin .
But a bank token ...

 

These filled the void that existed because Canada wasn't a country, and Britain didn't want to waste money on territory they knew they would eventually lose.
These are very collectible, and still affordable. There are a few rare varieties.
You need to get a copy of the Charlton catalog of Canadian Coins.

 

You guys need to refresh up on your ( Todays Short Hand,) LOL I am in mid 50's and knew it was Brother In Law, Does that make me younger, Ha Ha

 

Well, it could have been "Brother is laughing".

@Brina

"Brina is late!"

"Beethoven is lovely!"

"Bubba is lazy!"

"Baby is last!"

The ones I get confused with are sil, Sister in law and son in law??? I guess I am SOL,

 

In case it is not obvious, values shown are in Canadian Dollars.
This is a good source for all coins and many tokens of Canada and Provinces IMO.

 

Not excited. Never heard of them.

 

Oh. You think these member know literally everything. BIL COINAGE
