<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 304885, member: 8441&quot;]I recently went to my bank to pick up the annual $2 bills I get for my nephews, and the bank would only sell me a strap, they would not break it up for some odd reason... Anyway they were all new, so I picked the top 2 and put them in the Christmas cards and mailed them off. Since then I have been stuck with $98 worth of $2. </p><p>It is actually kind of fun, I went into a KFC the other day, and paid with a $10 and a couple of $2&#039;s. The casher was so excited, he immediately swapped the $2 for a couple of singles in his wallet. While I was waiting for my food, He was showing everyone else who worked there so I ended up swapping a few more bills for singles so the staff could have some. </p><p>I got a hot dog from the vendor outside Home Depot, and paid my bill with a $2 a $1 coin and a half, he was pleased. He said that he did not know that they made them any more. He said he might hit up his bank for halves, as his bills usually are on the dollar or half and it would make change easier. </p><p>The worst reaction was at a grocery store, where the cashier took the bills, looked at them, sighed loudly, then proceeded to check each bill with the counterfeit pen. Then she called the manager to ask where she needed to put them in her tray, the whole time keeping me waiting. She gave me serious attitude about it. ( I guess I made her do her job... poor baby )</p><p>I did find out that you can use a $2 in the automated check out machines at Walmart, however if you use too many ( in my case 6 ) it calls the cashier over to empty our the money tray in the machine ( I guess there is an &quot;other&quot; tray in the machine that sorts out odd bills, it had the $2&#039;s I put in, plus some old style $20&#039;s and $100&#039;s ).</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
