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

Wed, 18 Jun 2008, Nobody remarked:
exchanging the US quarters for Green Back paper.

Any bank I approached, refused to accept the large numbers of coins as
I wasn't/we weren't a customer.

15 years ago I was given $100 bills by a clueless Bureau de Change, and
I couldn't find a bank in a large US city that would change them, even
when I enlisted the support of one of their customers! As a result I now
never accept notes larger than $20.
