Another Interesting Change Find!

Stopped by the local market to pick up a few things today, got a $2 bill back in change, I don't think I've ever seen one in circulation before!

The young lady attending the register didn't even seem to think it was anything unusual, "Here's your change", she said!

$2 bills are said to have a suggestive history

 

Somewhere, a young lady is posting "Some loser insisted on paying with a $2 bill, and I had to take it, but then I gave it back in change to this other guy and he never even said a word, I'm not sure he even noticed!"

 

Interesting!

 

Keep it in your wallet for good luck, the year is still young.

 

The jewelry store near my house gets them from their bank and hands them back in change daily. They are all new and uncirculated and he had them in serial number sequence.

 

A friend of mine buys them by the brick to use for a change in his bars. I occasionally will get a hundred pack of them. It's fun to use them in transactions. Cashier's either love them or hate them. I had one lady want to buy all that I had because she likes to give them to her grandkids.

 

The looks on a young cashiers face are priceless. You feel you just gave them the first $2.00 bill they’ve ever seen.

 

I actually had a young cashier check three of them with an anti-counter fit pen.

 

I wonder if the self checkout registers would accept a $2 bill?

 

I remember a story about a guy who nearly got arrested after trying to make a purchase at a Best Buy store using $2 bills. Both the cashier and the police had never seen one before and assumed they were counterfeit!

 

Spend it - keep it circulating.

 

Happened to a young girl at a school in Texas trying to pay for her lunch with one. They actually called the police.

 

I have heard stories like that before. Never happened to me. Very sad that so many folks don’t know about them and the government they support still produces and tries to circulate them.

 

During the summer of 1976, I had one of these $2.00 bills. I was in elementary school then. I got one for my birthday. My siblings and I walked to the local McDonald's and I was able to buy a cheeseburger, fries and a drink (Rootbeer) with it, and still got change back. The interesting thing was, years later I had come across another $2 bill and it was a 1976. Because I had remember back in 1976 going to McDonald's with my $2 dollar bill, I thought that the $2 bill's were only produced in 1976 like the bicentennial quarters were. It wasn't until many years later than that, I learned that the $2 dollar bill had been printed for more years than just in 1976.

 

Ah, 1970...

 

I've spent them, never once received one.

 

Nothing like those French fries deep fried in beef tallow!

If I remember correctly, a hamburger used to be 10-15 cents, same for the fries!

I'd still like to stop by there once in a while, but I remember how disappointing the food and prices are compared to the good old days.

Oh yeah, the McDonald's here is hiring, $23/hour...

 

I used to babysit for some neighbors back in the early 70s. Always got paid in Kennedy half dollars or $2 bills from one of the moms.

The Kennedy's were almost always 40%rs, and I saved up a whole bunch of them and cashed them in during the Hunt brothers silver run-up. Good times!

 

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call "doing it right".

I slept through the Hunt brothers run-up; if I'd sold some of my junkier childhood silver at that time, I don't really think I'd be regretting it today.
