Bilimbique 上市 Deposited
- Slang for the promissory notes used during the Mexico revolution of 1910-1917. The word is said to have come from the Mexicans� pronouncing the name William Weeks, an American cashier at a mine in Mexico some years before the revolution. He issued promissory notes to the miners that were called �William-Weeks� but over the years the word bilimbique evolved and was applied to any banknote of the time.
