Seems as though the only dictionary to list your version first is the Macquarie Australian dictionary.

Oxford dictionary, Google and Wikipedia all list first a measurement of cloth, second an old French currency, third a noun derivative of denial.
No, the Oxford (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary) lists it first and second.
