[QUOTE="W5WMW, post: 1144779, member: 25413"][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=3]VACooky, I understand that so many people want to "sock drawer" any $2 bills they come across, but there are [i]well[/i] over $1,000,000,000 worth of them in circulation. Don't be afraid to spend them and just get more from the bank. Those aren't special. I even write on the back of some (non-numismatic) $2s that they are [B]not[/B] rare: please spend them and get more. You can get your bank to keep them in stock for you. It's just another denomination, albeit a denomination that is not commonly requested from banks. Therefore, there is just an untrue [I]perception[/I] that they're "special." My recommendation: keep getting them from the bank and spend them as you would $1s and $5s. [/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
