This may have been the origin of the joke, a standup comedy act by Bill Cosby, presumably speaking to a son or daughter who didn't feel like walking to school. It's so ridiculous funny, it's hilarious! Report this Post to the Staff

wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 01:11 am Yes, then too, it's been downhill ever since. Okay, I must stop this silliness. Seriously, $2 banknotes were certainly in circulation but often they were refused. On that topic I recall many, many times opening rolls of coin with clips and outright blanks. If it was not suitable to give to customers we were allowed to write it off and we just threw the damaged goods in the garbage. It horrifies me to think it had some value. BofC never compensated banks for "mutilated" or irregular coin, so yes it was thrown away. Edited by wildflowerAB 01/16/2016 01:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
punman Pillar of the Community Canada 849 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 01:30 am So the 1960 book says an EF 1948 50 cent piece was $6. I put that into an online inflation calculator for Canada and it came up with a value of $48.76 in 2015 money. Trends puts an EF40 at $200 and I thought I did well last year finding an EF40 ICCS 1948 for just under $140. That is probably one of the few coins that have tripled the inflation rate in the last 55 years. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 01:50 am According Charlton, the listed value of a 1948 50c in 2002 (EF-40) was $160. In 2015 the same coin was at $225 (ND) and $250 (WD), even higher than trends price. You bought at probably what was about year 2000 prices. Report this Post to the Staff
