[edit] Western resistance?
With reference to the most recent change, where is this information coming from? I've lived in Western Canada all my life and never heard of or experienced ANY resistance to the $2 bill when it was still in circulation. This addition should be removed unless a source can be cited for it. Joeyconnick 06:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- I believe it to be true for the province of Alberta. Twos were very, very rarely seen there in circulation while I lived there during the 1970s and 1980s. I remember a news story from about 1990 about how the $2 bill was gaining popularity in Alberta after the $1 bill had been retired a year earlier. Other anecdotal stories about the scarcity of $2 bills can be found online, such as this one. But verifiable reliable sources for this are hard to find. Király-Seth 06:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of 1954 Devil's Face section
The "1954 Devil's Face" section should be removed from this article. These notes were not withdrawn; rather they were permitted to wear out in circulation just like any other notes. Király-Seth 23:54, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Preference of banknotes
The toonie article seems to imply people were unhappy about its introduction and would have preferred to still have $2 notes; is this the case? Tarcus (talk) 06:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
