You can get $2 bills at the bank - here's proof! from The Two Dollar Bill Documentary 

Your personal bank or just any bank Because a few years ago I went into this bank inside this Walmart I had one's and wanted 20s and 10s they didn't give it to me because I didn't have a account with that bank .

Sam C. Give b

Send them to me

@@williama.3652 I might be late because your comment was from three years ago but it has to be you local bank that you have a account with lol, same story happened to me

🤣

I would still argue back, and tell them that they are not rare.

@@jonaskristensen-fq2xt actually yes they are

Dam Millenials ..

The manager probably collects money.

@@marcodavila10 Pretty sure most millenials are familiar with old $20 bills. The generation after that not so much.

Ha ha 5 years later I got an old 20, and 10 the same day… older lady that pays cash for odd jobs and yard work But she usually has current bills??? This is June 2024, I also have found 3 1950s silver dimes in my change in past 5-6 weeks

Indrid Cold Every time I’ve gone into my bank to ask for rolls half dollars, no matter which branch, they don’t have them available to give it. They will order them for me for $500 which is really just exchange money for money.

Ok I’m 16 years old and have never seen a 2 dollar bill in my whole life. So they might not be hard to get but they are in a sense rare. The reason there rate is probably because they aren’t very practical.

@@michaelisthebest1270 Come to Sterling Heights..... I spent $2 bill all around town :-)

My bank never has $2 bills and they refused to order any for me.

@@michaelisthebest1270 theyre "rare" because people usually dont spend them and rather keep tem, even those theres roughly a near amout of $2s out there as $10s

You're not high, but if you notice when the count gets to 38, we cut to a close up of Steve's face. This is the only edit made during this transaction. The teller actually counted out two sets of $50, but we used the repetition of him counting each set out to make an edit so it seemed like he only counted out one set. There was no reason to subject the audience to having to watch him count out twice as many bills (the point that the bank had $2 bills was made), so we did what's called a "pull up" in editing lingo and smoothly shortened the transaction some. Nice catch though! That hadn't been brought to our attention yet, and we didn't realize this loss of logic until you pointed it out. Kudos.

Thats what I was going to point out.

People could skip that part if they want to.

I thought he said he wanted 100 then looked at what he was holding in his hand and said he wanted 50 instead which meant that I thought he was carrying a $50 bill but thought he was carrying a 100

I caught that too. 🤔

Lol

😂

I have a 2 bill

Same I have 50

Didn't really happen - was just special effects.

It's such a trashy thing to do.

@[MAL] SalziSalzieven just smoking is trashy

Sarah Evrard-Feyhl it is but it's addicting when you do it. i haven't smoked but I know that when you start you can't stop

@@shinrazilla I used to smoke. I quit. It's not impossible to stop smoking.

Thank you. I would never think to call ahead. I would just ask in person while I was there for something else, but calling ahead is a smart move.

We are! Thank you.

Love to hear that you appreciate, use and gift them. Thanks for commenting

Funny in that video, i said you could get 2$ bills from the bank and keep an eye out for the 2$ with the red stamp.

@@jerryvelasco1474 two dollar Bill's with red stamps are legal they are from the 50s and 60s just like 5's used to be red stamped.

@@zachbbeck6752 I'm not saying they are illegal, I meant they are worth more.

Does that actually happen or is that just a legend that people always bring up?

@@jcreazy yes. seen it happen. mostly becuase 2 dollars bills are rarely if ever used.

That minimum is based on a bank not wanting to be inconvenienced. You can order as little as a strap of $100 if you want. Just tell the bank you're doing a charity event or something and you need the bills for that. What you need is what you need. If they cant accommodate, tell them you will have to consider banking elsewhere.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary I probably wasnt clear. If the bank physically has to order Bill's because they nor any of their other branches have what you want, their minimum order for 2's is $2000 worth. Here is the link specifying the minimum order quantity per denomination www.frbservices.org/resources/financial-services/cash/depositing-ordering/currency.html FWIW I wouldnt know this if a relative isnt a branch manager at a bank. And like many others posting below, I would have blindly accepted the "we dont have any nor can we get any" response I received before.

Sounds like you need to find another bank to deal with. Both Bank of America and Citizens Bank in my area order them for me..... Most times I get $400 or $600 at a time. Too bad in this day and age, banks and companies have forgot what good customer service it.

@@dcxdanny I think part of it is that the smaller banks don't have the assets nor resources to hold or shift $2s around branches for one guy that wants a few. One of the branches initially had $900 worth they were happy to give me as they said they hadn't been able to get rid of them. Many of the major banks I refuse to do business with. I'll take some inconvenience with smaller institutions, over the major players policies and fees.

that dumb guy just paid 4 bucs each, for each 2 dollar bill , how fucken stupid

Wait! You have to pay for them, darn. 😂

They didn't. As you saw, we just walked in, cameras rolling. The real surprise is that we were able to film the entire transaction before anyone stopped us. They also didn't ask us to erase anything we had already filmed.

Right

Me to. It really ends the video perfectly.

We post a new video every three weeks. If you have any ideas for the kinds of videos you'd like to see, please share them!

The Two Dollar Bill Documentary do a video where u buy everything with 2 dollar bills.

We did one like that but went only to fast food places: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WT25xaYLdoI.html

The Two Dollar Bill Documentary yeah, but i meant like going to best buy and walmart and things like that. Also, you should show that all banks have it. Like little clips feom every one

I recently just read a retarded comment that no one cares about but no big deal.

Your the MAN :-) I usually get $600 at a time of $2 bills :-)

Awesome! Love to hear it. I trust you're subscribed to the channel - more fun stuff about $2 bills coming.

The music is very important! Takes a while to find the right fit for each video.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary thanks for taking the time to do it tho

Thank you. People always tell me to keep it real.

They were issued as standard currency for all Americans, but to help encourage their use and get them into circulation, they were given to those in the Navy. Two dollar bills have been part of the US currency system since 1862. Watch a few more videos on this channel or check out the film it was based on: amzn.to/2gpRKum Thanks for the comment.

Do it!

Outstanding! What city & state is this?

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary This is Clinton, Iowa.

You can ask them to order in as many as you want. They do it at our branch all the time.

I don't know, but there's no way it would ever get 20,000 subscribers or over 10 million views.

They're great for that and many other reasons too. Thanks for sharing!

Well... not really. Banks SHOULD have them, but many don't. And most businesses that carry them either. In fact, businesses that DO carry them are so unique that it's become a good marketing tool, as we show in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GqS-_JdA_L8.html

It's always hit or miss.

She should have more!

I have had many people of different ages say that they are not made anymore - I call the $2 bill my idiot finder :-)

Thanks Grandmaster! It is appreciated.

why , the guy can"t even count, he gave the teller 100 bucs and got back 50 bucs, 25 two dollar bills

Not sure. Good question. They should be able to order them like any other bank. Ask them and see.

Yes, we featured them in our film. Here's the clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICY4HV80FFY.html

You mean get $2 bills! Not go inside with a running video camera. :)

Agreed. Thanks for commenting.

What you're looking at there are stacks of bills being put into a glass case at a currency trade show, by a dealer. The stacks are indeed star notes, and because they're as rare as you say, the dealer who has them is putting them on display with the hopes of selling them to a trade show visitor that day. I believe the dealer in this case is Fred Bart of Executive Currency (executivecurrency.com), and I'm sure he still has plenty of those if you wanted to buy some. Tell him we sent you.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Thanks for the reply and clarification. Those straps sell from $500 to $800 each. I have tellers at banks watching out for those and anything cool. I get cool notes every week. I took in a star note strap so that they could know what it looks like. They gave me a 1953 $5 Silver Certificate today.

Awesome. Love to hear that.

Do you still do that?

@@514musique yup, every Christmas

Just don't bring a video camera in

Did you actually get some $2 bills?

Congratulations.

That sucks! Time to switch banks. Notice how there weren't any TD banks in the opening part of this video. Nice coincidence.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Yea, I mainly liked TD Bank for the coin deposit, but they took that away :( Gotta get a new bank for sure.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary You know what would be a interesting video, because I've been trying to search this myself. "Which banks carry $2 bills?" I know it's more based on location but I think it'd be interesting enough nonetheless.

They had them or they had to order them?

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary They had them.

It's definitely not phony. If it was, we faked getting busted and the phone call they made after. We even made it a point to put text up at the beginning indicating this was real. Not much else we can do. Just because you can;t get any, doesn't mean the bank we went do doesn't either.

Dahhh.... Best to call your bank and order them. The come in "straps" of 100 bills = $200

i got them 2 weeks ago , but this is probably is phoney, cause the guy gave him a 100 bill but the teller only give him 50 bucs total . 25 bills

How many do you have? I'd love to see some video of your stash. Check out this video for details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LWVUuez_co.html

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Quite a lot still. I'm not sure how to shoot video, to be honest.

You're absolutely correct! I tell people that all the time. Glad to hear you're using them. Thanks for commenting.

2's werent printed in 1928 lol

Sheepland ;D - they started in 1860s. 😀

roxcyn yeah but that does not mean every year after that they continuously kept printing them moron

1928 is when the FED changed to the small size bill. Would be helpful if you tried using a magical thing called google

ROBERTO MAN - which is not what was stated nor asked.

You can order them though! They'll be "brought in" only when the bank needs them, and the bank needs them when people are requesting them.

That's ridiculous! They put in a currency order for other denominations all the time, why can't they add $2s? It's just sheer laziness and an unwillingness to satisfy a customer. Go back to one of those banks and say you need them for a charity event for children. If they still balk, put up a big stink. They can't "refuse" to order currency for their customers. Don't stand for it.

They can refuse to do service with you if you don't have an account with them. Banks won't even spit in your direction if you don't have an account with them. I've encountered that many times while going to banks that I'm not a member of. As for requesting a special order at a bank that you _are_ a member of, you are right, they must take a request for a special order as long as it is within reason.

Monticello always hands out $2 bills - it's a great thing they do. Good to save one and spend the rest! Thanks for sharing.

This video or the whole channel? Either way, thank you! Hope you subscribed.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary the whole channel....awesome

Exactly. Only the real smart people do this. :)

But a lot of people don't

louie trujilllo right lmao but they got guns in there

louie trujilllo not everyone lives in Detroit

White Mail Privilege right!

Well, we did film inside a bank. Got everything we needed before they finally pulled the plug. And you are mistaken - they print $2 bills not because they are a novelty, but because they are in demand. You can check out this other video on our channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Bzg9pNVePk.html

Yes it was.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary I live there can I have a 2 dollar bill I can't find one I'm only 12 turning 13 its my birthday soon on the 7th

I don't live in Michigan and can't give a $2 bill to everyone who asks, sorry. Go to the bank and get one! You can also try going to the Community page on my channel and asking a question about $2 under that post. Ask a good one, and if I make a video out of it, I send you a $2 bill.

DarenDoesGfx for sexual services?

@@whitemailprivilege2830 wtf

Why would u give money to a school librarian!? Where I went to school, no student is allowed to give/pay money/fees to staffs. The only ways to pay your fees ware thru school bookstore website or the school business office

Some banks will say yes, other may let you go in and exchange money. It all depends.

Do you get them at the bank?

Yes I did thanks for asking

Everybody thinks they know more than the people who made the video... fyi: We did a pull-up edit so you didn't have to watch him count out 100 bills. Check the cut at 1:41. There's only one camera on the guy, so how did the angle change?? We took out the rest of that count to 50, and came back where the next count to 50 matched. We got what we ordered - you just didn't have to sit through it all.

The Two Dollar Bill Documentary thanks for the clarification!

He got $100, believe me. It's called editing. Would you have wanted to sit there and watch the teller count out more bills? The edit is called a "pull-up", and it was obviously done very well if you think the customer got cheated. :)

yup , pretty dumb

They sure were.

cause he only gave him 25 bills which is 50 bucs and the guy gave him 100, lol opps

We answer every comment we can on this channel, when asked about where to get them, that you can get them at the bank. But if the bank doesn't have them, they'll order them. Your comment is not wrong at all, but considering how a majority of people don't even think they MAKE $2 bills anymore, the fact that there are a good number of banks that have them or can get them should make this an eye-opening video for many. My suggestion: try another bank.

Banks find it rude to ask for certain types of currency at immediate notice, especially when they have low stock. That's why its best to call and order before you buy things like $2 bills.

A bank is there to serve the customer. If they have ANY $2s, and you ask for them, they should give them to you. I get every last one from my bank all the time, and no one thinks it's rude (frankly, they're glad someone is taking them off their hands). I agree that you could call ahead to have them order them, but you can just as easily request that when you're in the bank as well. Thanks for commenting.

Victorian Sculptures you can order straps of $2 bills, they dont have to be in increments of $2000, In fact I have ordered $200 worth a day ago

Victorian Sculptures stop crying

Those are bad banks.

They will order them if you ask them to. In this video, you may notice that the teller had an even stack of 100 (he still counted them out though). That's because they come in that way, whether ordered by the bank for their own purposes or because a customer requested them. So go back to that bank and ask them to order them - they really can't turn you down unless they want to be difficult. Order 100 and then you'll have nice, clean, crisp and sequential bills to use for those gifts.

Sometimes the bank doesn’t have any, there are times when its payday for me and I get pissed because I go to other branches that have them, it all depends, you can call the branches so you don’t waste time driving there

I asked my bank and they ordered two stacks for me. I used them as tips and a few times at yard sales. I like the dollar coins as well, one cashier didn't believe it was real money. LOL

People giving them as gifts and holding onto them is the reason they're so rare when they're actually not that rare, they have no velocity as they dont circulate as much as $1s. There's only 10 times as many $1s as there are $2s but people see a lot more than ten times as many $1s, maybe the fed should just bring the numbers up to the same as $1s and then they will circulate far more.

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Are these $ 2 crisp bills or old bills .Werent they printed in 76 ' + 02' ?

Uhhh... the bank. Didn't we just show you that?

@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary - whoa. No need to be rude

Sarcasm. :)

Banks can and should order $2 bills from the Federal Reserve when a customer requests them. Next time you fo to a bank that doesn't have them, ask them if they can order them for you. If they say no, you have reason to complain!

He edit the second half

@@banban8481 oh I gotcha. That makes sense👍
