The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 6, February 9, 2003, Article 13

WORD DEFINITION: CHIT

  Chick Ambrass writes: "I was reading a paper money auction
  catalogue, and the heading was Military Payments and Chits.
  I went through the entire section, and saw nothing that was
  labeled a "Chit". Any idea what a "chit" is?"   I later came
  across one reference saying a "chit" is a signed paper voucher.

  [Word definitions are a perennial subject in The E-Sylum,
  so let's hear what our readers say.  I always thought a "chit"
  was a paper or cardboard token having some redemption
  value - like a token, but not made of metal.  I didn't think it
  had to be signed.  What say you, E-Sylum readers?
