slogan:

Cooler than a $5. Twice as powerful as a $1.


Here's an idea for collecting the $2 bill.

A Mersenne Prime Number is of the form 2^p -1 .

The current known Mersenne Primes with eight digit exponents a

13466917
20996011
24036583
25964951
30402457
32582657
37156667
42643801
43112609

Find one of those as a serial number on a $2 bill and that's 2^p .

A Mersenne Prime Number is of the form *2^p *-1 .

The current known largest Mersenne Primes have eight digit exponents of:

I also immediately thought of the infamous taco bell $2 story.

The lack of use for the $2 bill simply baffles me.

For coins, the arguments actually make sense. "I dont want to carry
heavy dollar coins in change".

Yes, youre being a baby, but theres some basis to that point.

But for $2 bills....? Why wouldnt someone want to get two $2 bills in
change instead of four $1s?


I also agree that the bill should be redesigned. As long as it has the
old design, people will think it's rare and worth saving. If it has a
modern colored design, bam, regular currency.

I believe most people would be receptive to receiving $2 bills in change and
might even become used to seeing them among the ones, fives, and tens in
their wallets. But it will be up to merchants to dispense them, banks to
include them in ATM payouts, etc. You can't count on masses of people going
to banks and asking for them. The same dilema with getting dollar coins to
circulate. It's gotta start somewhere.

I don't ever remember encountering many $2 bills in circulation back in the
1950's when they were much less of a novelty. Of course there were stories
going around back then that may have played a factor.

On the other hand, some people also might be apt to save what they consider
to be a radical new bill design. Otherwise, I don't imagine many could
describe what's on the current $2 bill, even though they may have one or two
stored away somewhere. I'm not sure I could without peeking.

A shame too, because it has by far the best design.

The Two has the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the
back. July 4 is coming up.

EVERYONE should go to their bank or banks and get all of their
spending money in Twos and flood their local area with them for the
next few weeks.

If you like it, keep doing it year-round.
