Original Toronto Star caption: Burning up $2 million is all the day's for Jim Nursey (left) and Fred Hajnal; who work in the Toronto office of the Bank of Canada; on University Ave. The super-bank destroys worn-out bills; first drilling five holes in them-one through the queen's neck-and cramming them into clear plastic bags. Steel bars; massive vaults; bullet-proof glass and quadruple combination locks are everywhere.
