A Manx 50p note, you said? They had subunit banknotes? Interesting, indeed.
The only other nation that I know of with subunits in bankotes was the
50-cent note in the Bahamas. I don't doubt, however, that there are other
places in the world with similar notes.
We had a ten-shilling note (half of one pound sterling) almost up to
decimalization in 1971 - I think it was withdrawn in favour of the 50p
coin in 1970.
