The story
Powell dates Nova Scotia’s decimal transition to 1860 and the 1871 alignment at 75 Nova Scotia cents for 73 Canadian cents. [1]
Section 6 applies the 75-Nova-Scotia-cent to 73-Canadian-cent conversion to covered payments from July 1, 1871, rounding fractional Canadian cents to the nearest whole cent. [2]
Replacement by an existing currency
This conversion belongs to the history of the retiring unit. It does not make that unit an ancestor of the currency adopted.
