Cash found with article bidding farewell to $2 bills, change purse
Lose some special cash recently? Winnipeg police would like to talk to you.
Police say an undisclosed amount of cash was recently left at a St. James business and they want to reunite the money with its rightful owner.
Police released photos of items recovered with the money, including an old government of Canada envelope covered with handwriting mentioning The Bay, a U.S. newspaper article about the end of the $2 bill and a coin purse.
"Supervalue receipt for Alana's doll (1991," one handwritten line on the envelope appears to say.
"It could be something that they had been collecting for a while," Winnipeg police Const. Tammy Skrabek said.
Police were notified about the found cash on Tuesday afternoon.
"It's not just $20," she said, adding police don't want to say how much cash was found, so the rightful owner can be found.
