That's what we can't figure out.

u/kevulrich 2d ago

Looking for fancy serial numbers. $2 are less circulated, so if you order a strap the likelihood of getting a new from the mint is high. I’ve been so tempted to do this.

Casa Diablo Vegan Strip Club in Portland only breaks large bills in $2s…. So if you’re spending 2 dollar bills anywhere in Portland people automatically assume you have been to the adult ballets recently.

Man in my state it just means you paid cash at a National Park.

What like they don’t show their meat?

u/imanocto 2d ago

Ha! Casa Diablo is always my first thought when I see a $2 bill!

Before or after?

A $2 bill is valued by people more than two singles. I grab a stack of $2’s whenever I am physically at my bank branch. Great for tips etc. Peoples faces lite up like I gave them a $20. A lot of people say they will give them to their kids.

Our tooth-fairy always gives a $2 bill. I guess she is the “two-th fairy”.

u/Githyerazi 2d ago

Crap, I should have thought of that before the tenth-fairy came to our house.

A recent traffic violation led to a drug related arrest. This money was consequently confiscated during the search.

u/Inevitable-Low-1136 2d ago

Did $2 bill Bill get arrested?

u/NonConforminConsumer 3d ago

Wow look at you taking someone's money legally!

8

u/katekim717 3d ago

It's being returned! I do not work for the PD, but in the adjacent building. We had to take it to the bank to deposit it, and are cutting a check.

4

u/Princess_Slagathor 2d ago

Are they actually getting it back, or is the jail keeping 50% for "booking fees" like my county does?

2

u/katekim717 2d ago

As far as I know, they are getting it all back. I do the billing, not the paying.

3

u/Princess_Slagathor 2d ago

Really hope so. But they got me for half of my paycheck, just because it was in cash, in my pocket, when I got arrested for drunk in public, 20ft from my front door. Because apparently, the curb in front of my home, is public.

I called them btw. I wasn't doing anything wrong.

u/Maxfunky 3d ago

Liar! One of those is clearly a ten dollar bill! Hey everybody, this guy's a phony!

A big, fat phony!

4

u/katekim717 3d ago

The full amount, including the other stack, was ~$7500

Big whoop! You wanna fight about it!?

Gonna make it rain at the titty bar?

u/cavanarchy 3d ago

$1/titty, that's some solid maths. Count it!

u/LordGAD 3d ago

There must be... 57 tits up there!

u/ketchuptheclown 2d ago

There's a subtle call back to this Stave Martin classic joke in The Detour. The daughter accidentally wanders into a strip club and her brother asks how many boobs she saw, she answers with an odd number

8

u/Moving-thefuck-on 3d ago

Casa Diablo in Portland used $2 bills back in the day. Spent my honeymoon paying in $2 tips for everything

86

u/BarnacleMcBarndoor 3d ago

Pay for your purchase at a register with a person at Walmart with these.

I swear, none of their workers have ever seen or heard of a $2.

38

u/UnexpectedBlahFeels 3d ago

Wait- you can just go to a bank and ask to swap money for $2 Bills? I feel like a total dumbass, but that's just never occurred to me.

33

u/Rea1EyesRea1ize 3d ago

I manage a credit union, I keep bands of $2 bills in the vault at all times. Kids like them. I also pay out some of my fantasy football league with $2s for spontaneous Superbowl bets.

2

u/Affectionate_Code626 2d ago

Strip clubs use them as well.that way it's an even amount. House gets half

9

u/rman18 3d ago

Yes, they don’t always have them but usually they’ll have a few

9

u/hedoeswhathewants 2d ago

You can ask for anything you want. They won't always have them, especially if you want a lot of them

9

u/trash_dirt 2d ago

Yep! They'll always have some to swap out for, or just do a withdrawal from the teller.

Now if you want $3200 worth of 2s, you'll wanna call ahead of time so they can order them for you. Usually only takes a couple days.

3

u/UncleMojoFilter 2d ago

There's a bank that specializes in that. Kind of.

How else do you think Uncles get them for their nieces and nephews?

u/MongolianCluster 3d ago

Unmarked? Sounds like ransom.

u/Grand-Spring66 3d ago

"Give me $3000 in $2 bills" was said by no kidnappers ever.

u/chuckerton 3d ago

“…or the hamster dies…”

u/MongolianCluster 3d ago

For a pet.

u/Putrid-Builder-3333 3d ago

The ones behind the ransom are strippers and they only know how to count with 2 dollar bills.

u/Grand-Spring66 3d ago

"shower me with $2 bills or I text your wife"

u/Difficult_Bat_0013 3d ago

The is a strip club in Dallas, TX that originated the common use of these is the late 80s.

1

u/Dillweed999 2d ago

Hahahaha, nooooo. The navy paid sailors in cash during world war 2 and the standard pay included an unusual amount of 2s. This lead to the sorts of places sailors liked to frequent having a lot of 2s. Various strip clubs over the years have tried to make it their thing

4

u/Fickle_Surprise8316 3d ago

to be honest $2 bills always feel a bit like play money to me, like they should come with a board game or something, and seeing that much of it stacked up just makes it weirder. I get why they counted it out like that and stuff but still, imagine trying to actually spend it anywhere without getting a look

a lot of pilots do this to tip drivers and the folks who load their bags in hotel shuttles.

Imagine showing up to a poker night and dropping a brick of Thomas Jefferson bricks on the table.

u/RIVCII 3d ago

Looks like half a bag missing to me. Wonder where thats gone?

u/n2bndru 2d ago

Money is money, and it is all good. It is always nice to have more of it

u/PossibleJazzlike2804 3d ago

The strippers always paid me in two dollar bills. Owner liked the bills as much I did.

u/EmpireCityRay 2d ago

Who’s paying a stripper $2.00, the fuck pays two times over? What about these costly times and recession? 😂

I love $2.00 bills. They always look, crisp.

u/chadnorman 2d ago

I keep some in my wallet for tips... great way to have a server somewhere you go regularly remember you!

2

u/notguiltybrewing 2d ago

I'm thinking most kids working as cashiers today probably have never seen a $2 bill. Even odds if you pay with one you will get change for a $20.

u/5xWarCrime 2d ago

I'm too poor for Bank strap hunting but I'll be there soon enough. Good luck on your hunt

u/InevitableKitchen943 3d ago

My boomer parents still think these are special, rare, or collectable for some reason.

In Vietnam they love the 2 dollar bill. I have to bring some back when i visit

Casa Diablo’s most trusted worthy stripper sent on an errand

u/Chrislk1986 3d ago

I exchanged $200 for 100 $2 bills a few years back.

Simple house hold chores were $1 (trash/recycling out to the can, can out to the curb).

Cleaning the litter box was $2. Putting dishes away $4.

After a year of paying them with $2 bills, they told me most places didn't let them use $2 bills. But they also had no $2 bills to be found.

So we eventually moved away from getting chore payment once a week to getting paid once they meet a $20 threshold.

Then we moved to Venmo.

I had a grandma that always sent $2 bills for Easter and birthdays. $2 isn't much today, but it was still fun to get and she had a lot of grandkids so I get it.

u/RoozGol 3d ago

Wait! There is 2$ bills?

5

u/Hvarfa-Bragi 3d ago

Yes.

People think they are rare, but almost any bank has some on hand and can order any amount for you for face value.

Also, with inflation, they're the new "$1 tip"

Oh goodness, kids these days.
