Thread Name: Lyr Req: Long Journey Home / Two-Dollar Bill
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Long Journey Home / Two-Dollar Bill
I am saved hunting for the lineage of the Monroe recording by Q. On the small circulation of the two dollar bill: I (only) get $2 bills regularly on the Canadian side of the Black Ball line ticket window in Victoria BC. The last ship of the Black Ball Line is the ferry Coho, Port Angeles WA to Victoria BC. Two dollar bill is exact change (plus 4 bits) for a return ticket to the US side when visitors present $15 in US funds for the fare. I guess the Black Ball people like to halve the weight and volume of the money from the bank for the cashiers.:)
