How does one convert hexadecimals to ducks and squids, the system of currency for hundreds of years in Atlantic Canada? Along the coast, at least. Inland, in the fly infested bog country, the system was based on moose, caribou, rabbits, pa'tridge and squirrels. 1 moose = two caribou = 400 rabbits = 1200 Birch Pa'tridge = 2400 Spruce Pa'tridge = 4800 red squirrels. All was well until Virginia White Tailed Deer migrated north with the increased access to their required diet which grew after the forests were harvested. There was a movement which tried to get the inlands on the currency of Maple, Oak, Ash, Cedar, Pine, Spruce, Poplar and Alder but calculating with 48,000,000 fuckin alders was not practical. On accounta most everyone hates fuckin alders... 'cept fer pa'tridge.
