$2 bills

#1 Unread post by Kris W »

I noticed Daniel did a YouTube video about $2 bills.

Ironically enough, two different dealers at Saturday's show gave me change with 10-15 consecutive numbered $2 bills.

Funny. I lived close to the US and Canada border for years. I have never heard a good explanation why Canadians (when they had them - now they are coin) used 2.00 bills as readily as 1.00 bills, yet we in the States never did use them much. They've been around a long time.

My dad used one in a Gee Bee in the early 70s before they reissued them in 76.

They thought it was fake.

2 pics. The 3rd bill treasury seal placement is lower. Is this normal? Or a possible premium.?
