Me and my dad went to McDonald’s and used one and the lady started making a scene saying call the police these guys are trying to use fake money and the manager came over and said it’s a $2 bill have you never seen one before and she was just puzzled and just threw it under the drawer.
I used 8 dollars worth today at crackel barrel and the lady was shocked. She said she hasn't seen them in awhile. I told her to give them back in change to make someone's day. She said she sure will do. I walked away looking at candy bars and a guy checked out and got his change back. I heard him say "look dear I got a 2 dollar bill back in change". Made my day
I use $2 bills all the time and when asked about them I tell people that the government is going to stop making $1 bills. I say that because of the $1 coins they do not need $1 bills and that they will cuts the printing cost in half by going to $2.
It's a great idea, but they won't stop making $1 bills any time soon. People are too used to them, and they have not adopted the $1 coin the way the government would have liked. The $1 bill is too much of a habit and is still in high demand. So the government will have to keep wasting money printing $1s when they should definitely be printing and circulating more $2s.
Meow Tow and John, I found $2.00 at my nicer bank in Stephenville,TX as the teller found $190 in two dollar bills. Hopefully the mandatory overtime will pay out in helping my hoard more two dollar bills to spend freely! I love the two's as it covers odd ball change. I got some two's in sequential order and as emergency reserves.. I will approach the banks for two dollar bills if my two dollar angels guide me.. I feel I am the only Texas taxpayer using two dollar bills.. There is no shame in using two's! I'm proud of you John! I never got buzzed about a manager checking two's here in Texas, mostly "where do you get two dollar bills?" Most tellers I meet are glad to sell them.. Some banks tell me I have to have an account with them.. Yet I'm working 16 hour shifts and extra nights because of mandatory overtime so I can't be able to enjoy time off as I used to.. But now, I'll make sure to use two's more often! Thanks John! 💵💵💵💰💰💰
I remember I went out to eat at a restaurant. The total was around $113, so I gave them a $100 bill and 7 $2 bills. They didn't bother to check if the $100 was counterfeit, but they checked all of the $2 to see if they were counterfeit😂
Dave Ramsey would love this ideal of spending $2 Bills everywhere because he recommended spending cash instead of credit cards or debt cards when out for purchases
The Two Dollar Bill Documentary ● Yeah. I remember back in the early 80's, I stopped at a "garage sale". A little girl, maybe 8-9 years old, was sitting at a table in the front yard. She was "minding the store" for her mommy, who was inside doing laundry or something. Going through a box of record albums, I came across one that I had been trying to find for several years (out of date - not available in "new" record stores). It had a piece of paper tape on it, marked 50-cents. "WOW", I thought. What a steal. Then, when I reached for my wallet, I realized I had left it at home - 35 miles away. No problem. I had some loose change in my pocket. I pulled the change out, but, I only had, like, 63-cents on me. Two quarters, a dime and some pennies. That's when I realized that ONE of the quarters was a "silver" quarter - worth like $1.50, back then. It dawned on me that it'd be futile trying to explain to a little girl why a quarter was worth more than 25-cents. I gave her the two quarters, but, I remember telling her, "You go show your mommy this quarter. It's worth a lot of money". I don't know if she did. Probably not. I always figured I was getting the album I had wanted for years, and, even at almost $1.75, it was a good deal.
The Two Dollar Bill Documentary Your video inspired me to get more and use them as you said. Yesterday I had to renew my license plate on my car at the DMV so I decided to use some of the $2 bills got from my bank a few days prior. The The guy I paid for the renewal took them but then turned to one of his older coworkers and asked her if he could give it to people as change. She then said yes it’s legal tender.
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Well,most of them have never seen a $2 bill. Some think they are useless. When I used to do pizza delivery,a customer had to use a red seal bill to pay for their food. I bought that bill and turned in my till as if they paid with ones.
YES..... Like mentioned, if you are going to spend $2 bills, do not be in a hurry, since once in awhile you will have people want to chat and ask questions. I don't usually spend more than 1 or 2 two dollars bills at once. I can see you getting more attention by spending a bunch of them :-)
I really enjoy the undercover transactions with the $2.00 Bill. So many seem to be quite perplexed as if it is their first time seeing the note! Always fun to watch.
I think I’d be easier if I got change and gave money in $2 bills. If i have a $10 bill and pay for a dollar item for change I usually get; 5, 1, 1, 1, 1. Which is more bills than is needed. It should be; 5, 2, 2. Way simpler than it usually is.
I had an idiot checker at WallyMart try and refuse my $30.00 worth of $2.00 bills for my $29.00 purchase!! She even called the manager over who quickly set her straight!!! Stupid people!!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary you're welcome - it's fun using this bill format. I spend / gave the whole $ 200 strap nearly. I just ordered more to pick up on 12/31/21.
Chuck - look for a video on January 1 where I'm asking for people to submit a video showing off their $2 bills. I'm going to put them in a new video launching on 2-22-22. I'd love for you to participate and be in the final product! Please look for it and follow the simple instructions to submit a video where you can show us all those twos. :)
Here's the video asking for submissions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LWVUuez_co.html Follow these directions and send something in!
you should go to a few stores like 7-11 and pay with 2s, and then have someone in line after you have a $10 bill and get $2-4 in change and see if they give them the twos you paid with before
Good idea! We'd need two hidden cameras though, so you could see each transaction. That makes it tough. But we could always go outside after the first transaction, swap the camera to someone else, and send them back in. We'll consider it!
My family was having a yard sale one time and I seen a $2 in a guy’s money clip and I said hey can I have that $2 bill and he said sure I didn’t think since you were little that you would know what it was and I said yes my mom works at a school cafeteria and the people bring them there to pay so she brings them home for me. And he thought that was cool and actually to this day I still have that $2 bill lol.
$2 in 1960 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $18.19 today. Or 3 $5 Whopper meals and a 10 piece chicken nuggets. Imagine buying all that for $2 in 1960. Today it just about ruins a $20 bill.
I’m 12 and I requested to get $50 and two dollar bills that I paid for I know as a matter of fact that they’re not rare at all so I signed them and gave them to teachers and and all of them were like oh my gosh aren’t these things like rare and I’m like it’s a two dollar bill they’re not And in my classes I would I would take some out of my pocket and people would be like oh my gosh they don’t make those anymore oh my God and I’m the one who has to tell them they’re still being made they’re not rare
I order 2000.00 worth of 2.00 bills every couple of months from my bank. I pay for all kinds of things. Got thrown out of a restaurant. More recently I had a cashier at a truck stop try and refuse them for the purchase of a couple of banana s . She literally freaked out. I just walked away with my purchase while she was yelling at me to stop. She ran to the back of the store to get her manager. I just continued walking hoping and went to my car. I sat there for a while.waiting for the cops to come. Would have made a great video!!
Joel McGrath I usually wouldn’t spend any that are 76 or before. The ones before 76 are more rare and worth a little more than 2 dollars. 1976 bills are worth 2 dollars, not rare but I like 76s because it’s bicentennial
Far, far, far from the truth! Of course 400 million newly re-issued, green seal twos were printed in 1976. There have been a dozen printings since, including last year. You can find serial number years 1976, 1995, 2003, 2009, 2013 nd 2017 recently. Unless you were being sarcastic with your comment, you should watch some other videos on this channel (including the full film) to learn all about $2 bills and when they've been printed.
in the past month, i spent about $50 in $2 bill at stores encounter some of the dumbest cashier ever all of them - 40 yrs old and younger - use the pen to check if the bills are fake one cashier exam the bill against the light to see watermark(?) or something every transaction, took them 2-3 minutes
That'd be great to have video of! But you can film your collection and send it to me and maybe I'll use it in a new, upcoming video on 2-22-22. Here are the details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LWVUuez_co.html
IMO People are confused on which $2 bills are worth more. I am not 100% certain that $2 bills are worth more, but I did notice that a $2 with red marking instead of green are worth more than $2.00. Also depends on where the $2 was minted.
Stupid video but I did watch..ha..I've been an ardent fan of 2.00 bills for years..(also buy the "old 2s for collector value).. Noth special about 2 other than merchants seldom see them.
Right, but may I suggest you watch my full documentary about $2s, which doesn't include anything like this clip. You'll see just how amazing the bill is. And if you're as ardent a fan as you claim, you'll really love it. amzn.to/2gpRKum
Casinos will sometimes use $2, $3, and $4 poker chips. Would be interesting if currency came in additional non-standard denominations. A $13 bill would be interesting! The superstitious would be quick to spend them.
Canad switched to a $2 coin about 20+ years ago. I get lots of comments on this channel where people tell me about the $2 coin and how the U.S. should switch to it as well.
@@delta250a They hardly give them to you in stores. Unless you buy something with cash in a machine, like a ticket in a railway station, then you'll get change back in coins
I'm all for spending $2 bills, but it's kind of a dick move to use them for a $25-30 purchase. Use them to make a small purchase at the convenience store. When you do that, they're more likely to give them as change, but when you give them a big stack like you did here, it'll probably go right back to the bank.
I appreciate the comment, but I wasn't interested in where the bills end up after I spent them. I wanted to see what happened when a cashier got more than just 1 or 2, which is usually the most they'd ever get in a transaction (if they ever got any at all). The reactions were the key, and I think I got some good ones.
Well if they get a bunch of two dollar bills maybe people will start to realize that they're not rare, and start spending any they might be holding on to.
I really hate to see cashiers marking bills. Its a tragedy to deface such beautiful bills. Im a cashier at a gas station and we have a machine that tells us if it is counterfeit. No marks just a scan of the bill.
The second guy in this video - the one with the green shirt who asked his manager where to put them - checked for counterfeiting by inserting them into a machine. The camera didn't get a good shot of it since it was behind the register, so I couldn't use it clearly in this video. But it was the first time I'd seen one of those machines. That's the way it will probably be done moving forward, as soon as stores start acquiring the machines.
They're worth $2 each, unless they have a fancy serial number or error, which is highly unlikely. There were 400 million $2 bills printed in 1976. They are nothing special (as collectibles) at all
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Yeah I checked they don’t I just keep them because they’re cool. And they’re in good condition but I do spend others thanks anyway take care of yourself!
