I feel for this kid. I have the same problem when I try to use my million dollar notes. And don’t even get me started on everyone’s inability to make change.

I have always heard that the trouble with $2 bills is that the public hoards them, thinking they are valuable.

This is an Old Story but:

The officer told Danesiah she could be charged with a third-degree felony.

That THREAT right there constitutes FELONY EXTORTION, As well as the UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT when they took him to the Office. If it was my child I would have been at the DA’s Office with my Lawyer the very next morning filin FORMAL CRIMINAL CHARGES against everyone Involved.

If it was a $3 bill, with Obama’s picture, they would have gladly accepted it.

They still call such places “Gentlemen’s Clubs”? How quaint.
It’s sort nice that tradition continues somewhere, although they’re probably not sitting in the parlor holding pipes wearing brocaded smoking jackets and corduroy slippers.
In today’s world that may be a place with Pole Dancers.

Indeed. Note his comment, “you could be in a lot of trouble”. I don’t care whether it was one of twenty things he said, if there is a single thought in his head that this six year old could be involved in counterfeiting, so much so that he begins the official intimidation process, he can’t be a copy any more.

Maybe but those may be more common. Maybe there are vending machines in the school cafeteria and they can give out dollar coins as change. Sometimes at my workplace I'll put in $1.60 or something, all in coins for a soda but not including a dollar coin. If the machine is totally sold out when I press the button (there are no lights to indicate what's sold out) I get my $1.60 back but this time it includes a dollar coin.

police discovered that the bill was real. Just very old and rare.

And people are very stupid. Now if it was a 3 dollar bill....

How much is a two dollar bill worth nowdays? - you don’t see them often. Are they still being printed?

My wife goes to the local bank every year around Christmas time and gets a few hundred to give out to kids. The bank usually needs a few days notice to order them.

LOL! People are so damn stupid.

I used to go to skydive AZ and paid 90 bucks (with military discount) to jump out of some pretty sketchy aircraft. Change was always 5 Two dollar bills.

I thought that was neat as hell.

yes, I saved them

We'll be buying lunch with these if Hilary gets her pudgy mitts on the economy.

Why the $2? In WW II, it was used as pay to G.I.’s to show that the service men contributed to the economy. As late as 85’ I received $2 bills in my pay in Germany. Just recently someone gave me a new one. I still have some left over from the silver certificate days.

I think you could give every cop (state and local) a simple IQ test, and I think at least thirty-percent would be set at the 7th-grade level of intelligence. Not to insult these people, but we really screwed up over the past couple of decades in hiring people without really testing them or ensuring their competence for the job.
