On June 28, 2009, the New York City MTA increased the rates for subway and bus rides.
Apparently the ticket agent who dutifully wrote this sign is unaware of the one-currency-symbol-per-value rule.
Is the new fare 2.25 dollars or 2.25 cents? A smart, frugal person might have recourse to argue the latter.

Great find! There are other subtle amusing details of this image. The low-tech-ness. CaPS mIxinG. Heavy underlining. Why “new fare”?
I like the hatching at the very top, and that possessive container too.
