They take my 3 dollar bills with President Goldwater on them all of the time.

I'll give you 60 wooden nickels for every three dollar bill you have (lol).

Dang, I’m going to go get a bunch of $2 bills and see if I can get some store to call the cops and have the cops false arrest me!

Right-O! What the heck does a handful of $2 bills have to do with 9/11 anyway? That boat won’t float.

I remember when my dad, a navy officer, was paid in $2 bills in the 50s.

The level of stupidity in this country has become more than sad. It is down right scary!

Hey, this should be no surprise to anyone -- Soetoro got reelected.

Idiot millenials have never seen a $2 bill and most likely not a real silver coin or even a silver certificate.

He must have been afraid the $2 bills would explode.

Shun BestBuy anyhow.

They’re tied at the hip with Hamas and the Boycott Israel movement.

If you’re gonna post, please post a few paragraphs. One sentence posts are lame and lazy. People on mobile prefer to understand the topic w/o having to load a heavy news article.

He should have taken them to the race track. They’d recognize them there. Is Pimlico running now? Laurel? Penn National is.......and is in deep doo-doo for cooking the horses’ training times to rig and influence wagering.

I've seen references to this story back in 2005, so it happened then or earlier. Or else Mike Bolesta just never learns his lesson and keeps trying to pay at Best Buy with $2 bills.
