Does anyone use two dollar bills, except me? I always have them in my wallet and use them to pay for small purchases and in restaurants. They are almost impossible to find, but you can order them from the bank. I order a hundred at a time. Much more useful than one dollar bills, and they are usually new and crisp. Give it a try. It's fun to see people's reaction.

I have a couple hundred in the safe. Found them when we cleaned out my late mother in law's condo... She would give them to the grandkids, tucked into their other presents for birthdays, Hanukkah, etc...

And you're right, they're a hoot to give to younger cashiers, who have never seen one...

I keep one in my wallet, somehow decided it is lucky to have it.

Used 'em a lot before we moved here. The owner of a Vietnamese restaurant in Duluth, MN, told me that they are seen as "good luck". I included them in tips at various Asian restaurants.

My wife and I have traveled all over the US since the early '80's, and overwintered in TV for over 20 years, and I have never seen a $2 bill, let alone handled one!
I had to look them up on Google for confirmation that they are real.
I was convinced this thread was a wind up, and was in the same category as the £9 British bank note.
You learn something new each day.
Now I have to get one!

In Brooksville, Florida there's a restaurant there, Florida Cracker Kitchen. It's worth the trip and they give $2 bills in their change. That is for those of us that still use cash.

Thanks for the tip, RG123, on where to get some. I've got a couple. One time, in the 1960's, I had a $1,000 bill for a few days. Now that was fun!

I hate $1 bills, take up too much space so always carry at least 5 #2's. My bank has them all the time so getting quantity is never an issue. I'm also a fan of the Sacagawea but my bank no longer carries them.

The problem is on those larger bills hard to get any one to take them as a payment. Fear they are counterfeit.

I have 1 or 2 in a box on my nightstand that I have had since they came out but that is all for me.

Didn't they declare the $2 bill null and void a couple of years ago? Had something to do with what was going on in 2000.
