Current Events > Reminder: 2 dollar us bills are not actually rare

(+) Yeah! (+)

Banks most likely have them in stock and you can exchange for them lmao

Wtf I gave a dude a $5 bill for one just last week.

I have a whole stack of them because when I was a kid my grandparents gave me X number of $2 bills for every birthday and I never spent them

I used to cash random paychecks in $2s.
Ended up using them for a down payment on a house.

Yeah, you're probably more likely to find something rare in your coin collection

They are in countries that use different money.

If you don't see them in regular circulation then that means they are rare, cause that's what that word means.

Fun fact a rare two dollar bill is worth two dollars.

They are In circulation

You can walk up to a teller at a bank and ask for them.

But you'll rarely get one unless you go to the bank and ask for it specifically.

They aren't rare if they are easily accessible and not worth more

Yeah probably. Doesn't change the fact that they still print them though. The fact that you typically don't receive them as change is probably a corporate decision

Yeah I wouldn't accept a dude bringing bags of pennies to pay for his shit.

collectible paper money is heavily dependent on rarer serial numbering.

a random $2 bill is only going to be $2. one from the shortest printrun (2009 B*), regularly sell for $50-$100. there are only 128000 of them, out of the 1.5 billion $2 notes. great condition and/or an interesting serial number can multiply that by quite a bit, too.

2 dollar bills weren't in print for a decade starting in the mid 60s. Older folks holding into them is just a holdover from that time.

Imagine if they decided to kill the $10 bill in modern times. I'd be stacking those suckers to the ceiling.

We had a guy at work that paid for most things in 2 dollar bills. It was his thing. I rarely see them in the wild.

I work at a convenient store, we get them quite a bit.

Still waiting on the Harriet Tubman bill.

Oh wait the racist Trump decided that wouldn't be a thing

Once saw a weird guy at the grocery store that payed in all two dollar bills.

He was older, all dressed in red white and blue, and tucked into the band of his hat was a bunch of two dollar bills. This was probably late 90s and I had never seen or heard of a two dollar bill, and thought he was so cool tbh lol (was a kid).

I see them regularly in Las Vegas. I have received tons of $2 bills as change when I go to the store or the bar etc.
