Two dollar bill anyone?
« on: April 17, 2009, 04:10:02 am »
I have a few of these two dollar bills and everyone I know says for me to save them I don't know what is the importance in doing so I keep them in a book but really don't spend them because they are so different looking to me. So every now and them I take a peek at them but I really don't know what makes them special. Do you have one what is your reason not to spend it?

They not easily attainable. you have to go to the bank or somewhere to ask for one. I think there cool. Also does anyone know if they still print them?

Much like the Susan B. coin dollar, they don't make 'em anymore.
You could hang on to them and in 20 years they may be worth $2.25, but probably not.

I think many people save the $2 bill because there weren't that many printed.  Possibly in a hundred years they will really be worth something.  I have a couple myself.

The only reason they seem special is because people didn't use them and started saving them.... Like when the gold dollar was introduced and the state quarters came out, everyone would check them to try and collect all the states.

If money is printed this way for us to use it's not worth much later on unless there was an error while it was printed or something different like that.. that's what I heard anyway.

I had quite a few, but mom is so superstitious and doesn't allow me to keep them because apparently people in jail used those, so it's "bad luck"

I have one that's taped together, which I bought off of my mother after she almost spent it at Sonic.
And I heard that they started reprinting them in 2005, but they just don't have very high circulation. You could probably get them from a bank, if you asked.

I heard something similar, myself. Not about the idea that people in jail used them, but that they brought around bad luck. Though, I also heard the opposite and that they brought good luck. So take your pick!

I actually like having them around, personally.

I have a sheet of $2 bills that I am saving and going to give my daughter when she grows up. I won it, along with a nice trophy, in a dance competition once.
