I can't get to that site from the office here. The anti-humour guard is hard at work.

I lived in Alberta from 1975 to 1985, and when I got there I was very surprised to find that the 2 dollar bill was so despised. I always expected people to make a hex-warding sign when I pulled one out. Once mine were gone, I never saw another one all the time I lived there. Here in Ontario, they were common.

>>We don't see any around anymore either. Of course, we went with one and two dollar coins, but the province of Alberta pretty much got rid of two dollar bills many many years ago. They were still legal tender in Alberta, of course, but nobody wanted them. The inane reason was that they were considered to be bad luck. Maybe that's also why they started disappearing in the U.S.
