I guess it’s a sign of our age, that we remember $2 bills and nobody else does.
We thought the $2 bills were stupid at the time.
I always thought that the rendering of Jefferson on the $2 bill looked more like Buddy Ebsen. Weeee Doggies!

A friend of mine would get a bunch of them and give them out in tips when he went to Vegas. Back in the day.
Actually it was the age of the bill, 1953, that when the pen they run across to see if it is counterfeit did not produce the correct results.
1-2-5 is the sequence of our money, and has been for a long time. 1-2-5-10-20-50-100. The 500 and 1000 bills have not been in circulation for a long time. Had she tried to use a $50 (Grant) bill they would probably have done the same thing, since they are not very common. $2 bills haven’t been very common, (except at race tracks?), for a while, but people SHOULD KNOW BETTER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE COLLEGE EDUMACATED...............(sic)
I don’t think it’s a matter of remembering there is a $2 bill, it’s more a sign of total stupidity by an increasingly large portion of our population.
I once witnessed an argument at the post office where the Clark was insisting that shipping to New Mexico was an international transaction.
The idjits possibly were freaking out because it was not a Federal Reserve Note, not because it was a $2 bill.
US Notes have a red seal, and FR notes from that period had a blue one (nowadays FR notes have a green seal.)
All the same, see what you get when you add power to stupid....
Yes and those quarter sized dollar coins were even worse.
I have 2 of them in my wallet right now... they are the last works of art left in circulation.... every other bill has been turned into monopoly money.
And used the saying, "Queer as a three-dollar bill."
Sometimes I get some just to leave as tips.
