<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Small Size, post: 2390436, member: 77924&quot;]$2 was the minimum bet at most horse tracks. Winnings would be multiples of the initial bet. So they were places that used lots of $2&#039;s, and $2&#039;s became associated with gambling, so much so they were often shunned in other places. </p><p>Gamblers are a superstitious lot, and so they came up with many reasons to consider this or that $2 unlucky. The bad luck could be expiated by tearing off a corner of the note. A note with a missing corner advertised its bad luck, requiring a second corner to be torn off. So sometimes you&#039;ll find a $2 with all four corners gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
