<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 2809052, member: 88212&quot;]Common to find these at race tracks since the smallest bet is two dollars. During the depression politicians paid two dollars for votes and many of them were passed out. Prior to 1900 $2 was a week&#039;s pay for unskilled labor. A carpenter or plumber would get $5. During the bicentennial lots of folks put a stamp on these and took them to the post office to get cancelled. I was around then but overseas and never got the memo why folks would want to do that. Most folks now consider those cancelled two dollar bills to be damaged and only worth face value. Some folks will soak off the stamps then you have a two dollar bill with part of a cancellation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
