Everyone's had a 2 dollar bill before, right? Most people believe they're out of print, good or bad luck, or a rare commodity. But in this comprehensive #documentary, all aspects of the "deuce" are explored - from its history to the many superstitions surrounding it; from its use by special interest groups to the way it's perceived by consumers and vendors. The film even looks at the bill's visits to outer space and the subculture of users that cherish the bill. Take a fun and entertaining journey that will open your eyes about a truly unique piece of currency.

My grandma passed away in 2017, and my mom told me that she saved this bill for me. I kept it thinking that it was worth bazillions, but now I know that it's worth much more for me, and for others who have such treasure. I'm all the way down in Honduras and surely I will gift this to younger generations for me to be remember always, starting with my grandma.

Well done! I gave each of my nephews an 'emergency' $2 - I told them at any time in life they could bring it to me and I would swap it for a $50 bill no questions asked. They also know they can purchase their bills back for... $50. So far, one has taken advantage of it; we'll see how it plays out in life for them!

I once gave away a $2 bill to a transient in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was strapped for cash at the time and thought my good deed would help bring me some good luck. It was the exact opposite almost from the moment I gave it away. Nothing but bad luck for years. It wasn't until I randomly came into possession of another $2 bill years later that my financial luck changed....Now I keep a fresh one on me at all times. Always a good conversation starter as well.

I have never had any money for the last straw and I had to go back to the knowledge manual "to study and show yourself approval." I was working on Three jobs, I didn't know it would be a good two years before I knew anything about the life outside of All work, and No sleep or play! I was just saving up two dollars bill's and I got so many I bought a Big photo album and I just put the money in like pictures and the funds ran out of spaces for the book. I was thinking about the 5$ a week allowance for my dollar a day I thought I would get the 2$bill 1or two per week to get the rest of my lunch time, and the funds ❤️ paid for the last Year payments for the rent. I had 3 babies and a not reg working husband 😅❤ thank you Jesus Christ

I found a 2 dollar bill when I was about 10 or 11 years old under my friends steps. I showed it to my friends dad “here look what I found under your steps”. His dad said hold up a second. Walked to the kitchen grabbed a pair of scissors and cut it in half. WTF? 2 dollar bills are bad luck he said. So I carry 2, 2 dollar bills. To change my luck of course!

What a great documentary! Someone gave me nine of them a few days ago when I bought a book for a buck and gave the cashier a twenty. She said that's all the change she had at the moment. I couldn't believe it as I had been thinking only a couple of days before how much I'd like to have another $2 bill; hadn't seen one in years. I spent one because it had writing on it, gave one to my aunt who had never had one, and am keeping the other seven for myself. I love them because Jefferson has always been my favorite Founding Father and American historical figure.

Sadly about 9 months back I was robbed and the $2 bill was taken also. That $2 was worth more then the $160 I had in my pocket.

Sad story but great story as it relates to the importance of the $2 bill. In making this film, I met so many people who came upon a $2 bill of their own in a memorable way, and cherished it the way you did. It has that effect, and I hope that point got communicated in my movie. Thanks for sharing.

Close to 20 years ago, WalMart was helping with an Easter fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network. For $6, you could buy a crisp new 2003 $2 bill, in a paper diecut folder with a sort of COA and everything packaged in a nice blue envelope. Each bill had had a diecut bunny or ducky placed neatly over Jefferson's portrait. And the cashiers were promoting them as an authentic variation printed by the US Government (wrong!). I was a coin collector and didn't know very much about paper currency. I was suckered and bought seven of them! Oh well, I've still got those 2003 series $2 bills with their packaging. They must be worth $2 apiece by now. And, I supported the charity.

I was at a walmart one time when the machine gave me a series of $1 bills and the one before that would have had 5 of the same digit. I tried chasing who I thought was the last customer to try and get that note and almost got hit by a car in the parking lot!

Unlikely they'll be discontinued, but even if they are, they're not so rare that they will be worth anything more than $2 for a very long time.

They were actually among the last of 'U.S. Notes' as United States Notes, which were direct descendants of the original Series 1862 'Legal Tender Notes', were last issued in 1966 with 'red seal' Series 1963A $2, Series 1966 $5 and $100. All U.S. currency since has been in the form of Federal Reserve Notes, first issued as Series 1914.

I went to the bank and got a stack of two dollar bills with a star note on the top, but the rest of the bills we’re regular notes all sequential. I went back to the bank and got three more stacks, two of them were sequential star notes from 401-600 and the other one was all star notes in sequential order 401-500, all from the same reserve bank, but the third stack was a few numbers off from the other two.
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary 3 года назад
That's awesome. Star notes have a little more value, and if you have a string of them with consecutive serial numbers, that may be very attractive to some collectors. You may be able to flip that stack of sequential star notes for twice as much on eBay. I definitely would try to profit from that before spending too many.

No, it's a space museum somewhere in Chicago. I forget the exact name and location, but it was shot there because of its close proximity to where Mr. Jurek lives. I think you can see the name of the place when he first walks in. I'd have to look it up otherwise.

No idea. They should be out there by now. It may take some time for them to start getting circulated. They go to the banks first, then they have to get into consumer's hands. Could be a little while before they get around much.

To get people to buy things, retailers should use $2 in the $1 slot, and use the extra coin cup for $1 coins. This would get people's attention at time of sale and might save on individual actions for the cashier. When you put a $20 in at one of the laundromats in my area you get 16 gold dollar coins and 16 quarters. Not only does this cause 25% of normal wear on the washing machines' coin mechanisms but that laundromat is always packed.
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary 3 года назад
Is it packed because it's giving those coins, or packed because people need to get their laundry done? Regardless of which cash register slot a vendor uses, just giving them out as change is important. And people who are aware of the $2 should just start using them more.
