    In Western Canada legend has it that to give a two-dollar bill to a woman was considered rude as it was usually used to pay for what type of service?

    Question #86228. Asked by Maggie1940. (Sep 22 07 5:43 AM)

    		The $2 bill was less popular in Western Canada, possibly due to a shady history. Legend has it that during the frontier era, $2 bills were used to pay prostitutes. It was therefore considered rude to give one to a woman as change.
