F’n moron is too moronic to Google a question on their smart phone; “is there a two dollar bill?”
April 13, 1976. I got some the first day they were available and at recommendation of the bank personnel, went to the PO, bought a 13 cent stamp, pasted it on the bill, and had it cancelled. I did four of them. I just ran across them a few months ago. Someone’s selling them on the internet for $30.00.
“Siri, is there a 2 dollar bill?”.
I did a few weeks ago. Had some.
I found a Sacajawea coin in the kitchen junk drawer the other day. I’ll try to remember to use it next time i’m out and see what happens.
When the $2 bills came out most of the stores around me didn’t want to take them because they didn’t have an extra slot in the cash register for them.
Great. Now I have to try that.
My favorite bill. Love the back of it.
Yeah, but if you had simply walked out without paying, you’d be OK.
What an upside down world.
I think there were more $2 bill in Germany than statewide. GIs got paid with $2 bills. They were made to show that the GIs contributed to the economy. I had a batch of them in Germany in the early 80’s. When I was a kid in the 40’s they were all over the place, no big deal back then.
One of the earlier stories I recall on the then-newfangled thing called the Internet (probably Usenet) was entitled “I Want My Two Dollars Back” about a guy who went to Taco Bell at a mall and used a $2 bill to pay for his meal to go.
The cashier thought it was fake, “We don’t take those”, “Do you want me to call security” etc. Much hilarity ensued. I would bet “I Want My $2 Back” is still archived somewhere on the Web today, though I’m too lazy to look.
Another guy allowed that he would obtain a fresh crisp stack of brand new $2 bills with sequential serial #s and then carefully glue them into an empty checkbook holder. He’d make a show of carefully tearing them out just like personal checks at the grocery, bewildering those standing in line behind him.
I like when the cash register is broke, and they stand there looking at the change, that they don’t know how to count.
Steve Wozniak (the co-founder of Apple) likes to buy sheets of uncut $2 bills from the U.S. Treasury. When he has to pay something, he takes out a sheet, and cuts a bill off with a scissors. Sometimes he gets called in. Of course it gets cleared up. Rich guys having silly fun.
Every time we had a garage sale I’d go to the bank and get 50 $2 bills. Sold them then for $3 each in the garage sale and they always sold out. Often to one person buying them all. LOL
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
a two dollar bill, a two dollar bill
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
And I’m on my long journey home.
Years ago people used to joke about the hated Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, calling it a "Carter Quarter". I guess your $7.34 bill would be called a "Biden Buck".
I would call the Sacajawea dollar coin “squaw-bucks”.
There was an article a couple years ago where a dumbass “SKOOL TEECHER” who l called the cops on a little girl who tried to pay for her school lunch with a two dollar bill. A school teacher! Yikes! No wonder they can’t tell a child’s gender anymore.
Nowadays, 3s and 9s are more common. Normally only used in Key West, they are becoming more popular.
