We collect those for rainy days.

What is amazing is that he is that dense to think they were all the same bill.

I wonder why we don’t use more two dollar bills?

A few years ago I read about a guy who used a $2 bill at MacDonald’s. The police were called, and they came and arrested him. He was released after it got sorted out that $2 bills are legit.

The $2 bill should be available worldwide

We have a $3.00 bill here in the Bahamas.

The comic shop I go to likes to give those out if the change requires $2

I have had people pay me with 2 dollar bills on 3 occasions so far. It’s awkward because there’s no slot in the cash register for them, I have to put them under the drawer with the 50’s and 100’s

If that was a Canadian $2 bill it would be pink and worth about $50.00 Very rare

Gokie5: Populism was based on Jeffersonian governmental structure – if it involves more than one unit of the same level of government, it is the responsibility of the next level, the exceptions being money and civil rights which are federal. With the capitalist takeover in the 1880s and ‘90s, this philosophy was removed from textbooks and mass media. Because the $2.00 bill featured Jefferson (Monticello on reverse), there was a campaign against circulating them – the nickel was “read” by size, but bills were all alike and required actual reading. They were: “bad luck, only for horse-race gambling, communist,” etc. No, only on Jeffersonian democracy’s middle-class foundation, and thus a threat to the capitalist overlords..When I had my book store, I gave twos in change until the bank refused to let me have them (same with Kennedy halves) and Dallas and the Federal Reserve was too far away to get them on a weekday when that capitalist institution was open. Most of the underlings at the bank didn’t understand – it was just policy – the same as with most prejudice.

pschearer: The Fed is a consortium of Wall Street banks designed to take control of the money away from the Treasury Department to consolidate Wall Street power. Fannie and Freddie were more recent takeovers of more recent government functions. The Post Office was taken away from Congressional oversight and into a private profit operation Ben Franklin would never recognize. The fact that the Senate rubber-stamps the higher ups of these corporations does not make them governmental. They have no other control over them..You should know me better. I am no Libertarian – they believe in corporatizing the government according to the orders of Ayn Rand. I am a Populist (or as we call ourselves now, Green), and I have run as such against both Republican and Libertarian (Democrats were too apathetic to run anyone) for the Texas state school board (which de facto writes those fictional text books for most of the country). Don’t bother looking it up, the only place my candidacy ever saw print was in the League of Women Voter’s Candidate Survey and the 2010 Texas ballot for SBOE district 9. The corporate media does not acknowledge our existence anywhere even though we are in over 80 countries and the European Parliament. In fact, even Rachel Maddow is not permitted to mention Greens on the air, only the viewer-supported Link’s Democracy Now gives us fair coverage. You wouldn’t make such a stupid error if we still had freedom of the press and/or free elections.
