Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?

Same thing happened in the United States -- it is next to impossible
to find any coins from before 1964, because they had all previously
contained silver.


For the sake of precision: that's dimes and higher coins, from
before 1965.
Actually, for some reason they continued to make half-dollars
containing silver (only 40% instead of 90% as before) for another
6 years, and I've seen it claimed that this was a factor in the
almost total disappearance of the coin from circulation about then.

What is/was the situation with Canadian coins?
