<p>[QUOTE="Bob White, post: 960522, member: 26497"]<font face="Tahoma">Just updated my profile to include an avatar - the back of the 1954 Canadian $1. Reason I chose it is an experience I had driving across the Canadian prairie in 1973. Somewhere in the middle of Saskatchewan there was a billboard with the same image. Idea was to stop, pull out a dollar bill, and marvel that the image on the dollar bill was exactly the same as the road ahead of you. It was - pretty amazing. Until we drove about 100 miles (we had still miles in Canada back in the 70’s), and stopped again, pulled out the dollar bill, and guess what? It still looked exactly the same. Moral of the story is that there’s an awful lot of prairie out there, and it while all looks pretty much the same, it was on the money in my pocket. Great memory of a great road trip, and every time I see an old Canadian dollar bill, I remember that day.</font></p><p><font face="Tahoma">Anybody else have any paper money with an image that brings back this kind of memory? </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
