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

I have heard that one reason they don't do away with the dollar note with
its image of George Washington is psychological as the 1-dollar note is
probably one of the foremost symbols of the United States. Take that away
and what do you have, so the thinking might go. This could have adverse
effects.

Interesting - eight years ago I recall seeing posters on the New York Subway
showing Washington himself explaining his face isn't on the dollar coin as
though this was an asset...
