2 Dollar Bills

Postby ardorlan » Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:04 pm

Was at my bank picking up 60$ in dimes to search, when I saw someone transfer a large amount of 2$ bills.
I went to that teller, and traded for them.
I got 16 Bills total

1x 1976
2x 1995 and
1x 2003 series
10x 2003A series.

I am guess these bills are all worth just 2 dollars, none of them are prefect.

Are any of these worth Saving?

Most people save them thats why we rarely see em. I used to keep em, but found out they work just as good as the other bills.

I went to the farmers market yesterday, One of the young farm girls selling cookies asked me if it was legal, I also off loaded a bunch of halves. All and all It was a bit hit with everyone who got them.

If any were star notes they'd be worth keeping. Otherwise, have fun spending them.

A little harder to spend, but ya. Bet they would not work outside the USA though.

When we still had $2 bills here I seem to remember they circulated quite a bit. There are probably quite a few Canadians who have no idea that US $2 bills are less common to see in circulation than other bills or why that might be.
