Regarding That "Two-Dollar Bill" Ad,Claiming That They Are Worth Thirty Dollars? Are They Serious?

[JohnThune2012]

By now most of us have this seen laughable "New Two Dollar Bill" commercial by now.When watching this ad,you can't help by say,You Can't Be Serious!, How can a two-dollar bill retail for $30.00,But If You Act Now It's only $10.00.Plain And Simple! IT'S A TWO DOLLAR BILL! It's worth TWO DOLLARS! Will They Ever Stop Trying To Sell Us Non-Monetary Money? As if someday it will all make us rich if we buy now? This bill is supposed to be U.S. Currency,and if so,why is this Two Dollar Bill A Steal For Only Ten Dollars?(Plus Shipping&Handling).

It’s worth whatever they can convince you to pay for it.

Will They Ever Stop Trying To Sell Us Non-Monetary Money?

Isn't the fed trying to do this with QE II?
I'm waiting for them to come up with a $3.00 bill with Hussein's mug on it and a picture of the Kenyan flag on the reverse.

[Never on my watch]

Does it come with a “certificate of authenticity”?

Never buy a two dollar bill without one. /sarc

[Yo-Yo]

But these are hand painted to commemorate the National Parks!

It has electrolytes! (Idiocracy reference)

Personally. I think the ad for the “metric hammer” in Parade was far worse. They sold a ton of them.

[PghBaldy]

They are worth $2.00. They would probably be worth MORE if they weren’t defaced, since some people collect them.

Some people will try to sell anything because someone will buy it. I remember TV commercials selling “Obama” coins that ended up being a 50 cent peice with a photo of Obama taped on. Montel Williams was hawking those.

[Never on my watch]

Not as bad as the Obama Inauguration decorative plates.

[Sybeck1]

Probably hand painted in China.

I saw a print ad for those. They are marvelously hideous! They are first cousins to Monopoly money. Someone actually thought this is a good idea. The mindset is fascinating. I would love to know how many they have sold. If it works, I’m going to get a bunch of $1s, paint them with water colors and sell them on eBay for $20 each. BTW, isn’t this defacing money?

[JohnThune2012]

what next? a three dollar bill with Barney Franks photo?

I'm waiting for them to come up with a $3.00 bill

The SMI (CMC) Steel Mill in my town pays its employees a yearly $200.00 safety bonus in $2.00 bills, a lot of them float around in January February in Seguin Tx. btw they are all worth $2.00

[KarlInOhio]

How about the non-monetary coins plated with 14 milligrams of 0.99999 pure gold. Even at current gold prices that almost 50¢ of gold.

[Boris99]

Brondo’s got what plants crave.

[wolfpat]

BTW, isn’t this defacing money?

That's my thought too. I'm thinking this is a federal offense.

[Pravious]

Actually, yes. It’s defacing money - which I thought was illegal.

I was in my local post office the other day and asked them if they wanted a 2 dollar bill, since I had several of them in my wallet. They said “no.” :-)

[GSWarrior]

It must be true. I heard it on TV.
