<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1163427, member: 17987"]I've never seen a worn one either, except for the pics posted in this thread. Of course how often do you see a half anyway? I'm 28 and I can remember maybe getting a half back in change maybe twice in my life. I worked in retail for 4 years in high school and all that time I don't remember ever getting a half from a customer. They are like $2 bills. If people do get them back in some change they hoard them thinking they are rare simply because you never see many in circulation. I've never seen a worn $2 bill either, always nice and crisp. Next time I go to the bank I plan on getting a bunch of $2 bills and half dollars and probably dollar coins and start spending them just so people think I'm eccentric. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've heard many stories of people getting into confrontations with cashiers for trying to spend a $2 bill and the cashiers insisting it is a fake bill because $2 don't really exist. I even heard a guy got arrested at a Best Buy store for paying his bill with 50 or so $2 bills. The charges were dropped after the secret service verified the bills were legit, but still. Maybe these stories are a myth, but I could buy it. I've met people who didn't believe a $2 was real until I showed them some of mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
