I&#8217;m not kidding.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about a numismatic nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the cashier tried to convince me that he had just handed over $2.04, but as far as I was concerned, he gave me the financial equivalent of two matchsticks and a ball of lint. If that.<\/p>\n<p>After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id575-is-it-finally-time-to-get-rid-of-the-penny-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">everybody hates pennies<\/a> &#8212; and nobody knows what to do with $2 bills.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re like me and most other people, pennies typically get tossed into desk drawers or five-gallon pickle jars where they are quickly forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>As for $2 bills, well &#8230; due to their perceived rarity, they usually end up being tucked away in old dressers and other secret hiding places as collectible souvenirs &#8212; or even handed out as magical birthday and Christmas gifts for the kids.<\/p>\n<p>As such, people rarely see $2 bills in circulation because nobody ever <strong><em>spends<\/em><\/strong> them.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, here are 18 facts you probably didn&#8217;t know about all those $2 bills <strong><em>you&#8217;re<\/em><\/strong> currently squirreling away for no good reason:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Although Thomas Jefferson has been featured on the $2 bill since 1869, it was Alexander Hamilton&#8217;s portrait that originally graced the front of the bill when it was introduced in 1862.<\/li>\n<li>Jefferson&#8217;s home, the Monticello, was first featured on the bill&#8217;s reverse side in 1929. The Monticello gift shop reportedly now gives them out as change to encourage their circulation.<\/li>\n<li>In 1925, the US government tried &#8212; unsuccessfully &#8212; to increase the popularity of the $2 bill by placing one in federal employee pay envelopes.<\/li>\n<li>After years of public indifference to the $2 bill, production was finally discontinued in 1966, only to be restarted as part of the American Bicentennial celebration in 1976.<\/li>\n<li>The revised $2 bill from 1976 replaced the Monticello with a depiction of John Trumbull&#8217;s painting, &#8220;Declaration of Independence.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Industrious folks looking to create a money-making collectable had the new $2 bills postmarked by the US Post Office on their first day of issue (April 13, 1976).<\/li>\n<li>Unfortunately, so many of them did so that, even today, there are enough postmarked bills floating around to ensure they don&#8217;t command much above the $2 bill&#8217;s face value.<\/li>\n<li>As a general rule of thumb, if a $2 bill has a red Treasury seal and serial numbers, it&#8217;s at least a somewhat-valuable collectable. If the bill has a green Treasury seal and serial numbers, then it&#8217;s probably not worth more than face value.<\/li>\n<li>Believe it or not, $2 bills are seen in circulation so rarely that some people still think they&#8217;re counterfeit upon first encountering them.<\/li>\n<li>In 2005, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2005\/04\/29732\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Baltimore man was arrested<\/a> and held in custody until Secret Service agents could verify that the 57 $2-bills he used to pay Best Buy for installing a radio-CD player in his son&#8217;s car were genuine.<\/li>\n<li>Actually, it&#8217;s a wonder we don&#8217;t see $2 bills more often; as late as the turn of the 21st century, there were over $1.1 billion worth of the bills in circulation.<\/li>\n<li>For its part, the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing continues to print $2 bills, including as many as 230 million of them back in 2006. Even so, $2 bills make up just 1% of all US bills in circulation.<\/li>\n<li>In 1989, Geneva Steel in Provo, Utah paid their employee <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deseretnews.com\/article\/984002\/Geneva-workers-give-their-2-worth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bonuses with $2 bills<\/a> to highlight the importance of the steel mill to the local economy. That fact became obvious after the rare bills began appearing at merchants throughout the surrounding communities.<\/li>\n<li>Then again, not every merchant is enamored with $2 bills. Over the years there have been more than a few claims of businesses <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.wheresgeorge.com\/showthread.php?159308-2-bills-refused-by-local-merchant&amp;p=4373038&amp;viewfull=1#post4373038\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refusing to accept $2 bills<\/a> as legal tender.<\/li>\n<li>According to the US Treasury, merchants <a href=\"http:\/\/www.treasury.gov\/resource-center\/faqs\/currency\/pages\/legal-tender.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aren&#8217;t legally obligated<\/a> to accept $2 bills &#8212; or bills of any other denomination. Yes, they have to accept US dollars, but those dollars <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> have to be in the form of coins and paper money.<\/li>\n<li>Legally, there is nothing stopping vendors from choosing to only accept payment in US dollars for goods and services via credit cards or other electronic means.<\/li>\n<li>The next time you pay for something using a $2 bill, the odds are the cashier will have to put it under the cash drawer. That&#8217;s because most businesses prefer to use the register&#8217;s five bill-slots for ones, fives, tens, twenties and checks or coupons.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of spare change, for quite awhile now, strip clubs have been including $2 bills in their customers&#8217; change whenever possible to help increase tip income for their dancers. Well &#8230; At least <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/money\/2006-11-06-two-dollar_x.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been told<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: The Comedian<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not too long ago I had to mosey on down to my local hardware store because I needed propane for my barbecue grill.
