<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3624209, member: 78298&quot;]They were worth $2 in 1976 and they are probably worth $2 today.</p><p>A collector might pay more for crisp notes, star notes, even the things</p><p>which usually detract from currency value (post stamp/ cancellation etc.)</p><p>But how much is $2 worth today compared to 43 years ago?

So a meal for two people for $2 (in 74) and the Big Macs were MUCH LARGER then, now costs around $13-$14. Your $2 is worth about 30 cents.</p><p>And yet people still claim we need the dollar bill to circulate. Dollar coins and $2 bills will easily take up that slack. 2/3 of our currency printed is for dollar bills. All of that paper and ink, and manpower and equipment could be used to print larger denomination bills. It will save money. It will get all those dollar coins out of storage that we are paying for, for them to sit there. Those coins last 30-100 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
