Funny how social media can whip up old stories like this and make them seem new. Originally we were actually treated by a detailed story.

Again! Didn’t this happen last spring, somewhere else?

How stupid can people be?

Yeah, yeah, I know - I shouldn’t say that, because so many people take it as a challenge.

Here's the back of the $2 bill, with an engraving of Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello. When our family visited Monticello some years back, the admission fee was $18, which many people automatically attempt to pay with a $20—to which Monticello gave a $2 bill in change. I still have mine.

I got a fresh supply from the bank a couple months ago.
They are really good for “sleight of hand” trick where you fold two one dollar bills and when unfolded it is a $2 bill.
Everyone should know it is real money.

I assume this was a government school.

And nobody mentioned the smell test. Real US folding money smells like one thing, and one thing only—currency! Or, maybe I have the nose of a bloodhound...?

Oh my gosh! That is insane! I have an aunt that sends my kids $2 bills for every holiday. We have tons of them! They hoard them like they’re golden tickets. LOL! Guess I should be careful when they go to spend them!

$2 bills are neither that old, nor are many of them rare.

You can go the bank and get brand new crisp $2 bill right now. My brother-in-law, LOL, is so cheap...he gets a stack on a regular basis and instead of leaving the correct tip for his meals at lunches, he leaves only a new $2 bill with his name signed on it - as if the server will be so enthralled to get a $2 bill they’ll forget he should have left four more dollars. Some people’s kids, I swear.
