Back in the 1700's, European banks used to use porcelain tiles ( much like we use a credit/debit card today ) The were called "borrowers tiles" and imprinted with name, credit limit and name of bank...when a teller was presented with a tile from the customer, they would compare credit limit to what the bank had on file....if you were over your credit limit the teller would break the tile right then and there...this is where the term "I'm broke" came from.
