More and more people are using $2 bills these days, so you can figure
the
stores will eventually starts passing them out. I try to spend at least
$20 - $30 worth day.

I have spent over 20,000 Toms in the past 10 years, and plan to spemd
another 2-3,000 this year. I'm seeing more and more being handed back as
change.

Oh my God.... you spend 2-3,000 Toms a year. I bow to you Old Master of $2
bills. Keep up the good work......Oh, and I like that nick name for the $2
bill - "TOM". I will have to use that next time, and see if anyone catches
on to what I am "referring" to - Ha

I circulate, have circulated and will continue to circulate $2000 in
Twos per week. I've been doing this for a decade and before that I did
it at a slightly slower rate (maybe a $1000 a week) for another
decade.


How do you distribute or circulate them? Do you have a store or business?
Otherwise I can't imagine spending $2,000 in cash every week or over
$100,000 a year.

I can imagine.

I can only imagine.

Still not getting them put back in circulation. �The cashiers either
stick them under the register or pocket them to collect 'em.

That may be true, since many folks freak when they're paid in
presidential dollars, but the coin shows are having themselves a field
day selling $2 notes by the reprinted truck load.

In that regard, doesn't it strike you odd that the US mint is
producing money for retail sale as much as for use in circulation? It
does me, because I know they're not supposed to be doing it, and if
the crafters of the original constitution we alive today, everyone
involved would be swinging at the end of a rope.

I've answered this before (probably a dozen times). I work for a giant
company with thousands of employees (hourly, salaried) and many of the
people I interact with every day exchange their boring $20s that they
get from the ATM for more exciting Twos and dollar coins. I also
supply them with each of the State Quarters when they come out. For
those who do not want dollar coins or Twos for everyday use, but who
want the state quarters, I make them buy many rolls fo dollar coins to
get a roll of state quarters. many of them have not been inside a bank
branch in almost 10 years.

It also helps that all the vending machines accept dollar coins. They
have been able to for decades.

The Where's George folks have a "Top Toms" club and loads of
discussion on their user forums.

I do WheresGeorge periodically. About a year ago I entered 100 $2 bill's
bringing my lifetime $2 bill count up to something like 105. While my
average hit rate is over 25%, I have yet to get a hit on a single $2 bill.

I guess people kept them or returned them to banks who culled them. Or
perhaps they're in hiding.

Yes and no. As has been said before - most people think they are
"rare" and tend to hoard them. So, the thing to do is flood your area
with Twos and spend them for all purchases everywhere. Heck, even pay
your big bills at bill-pay places with Twos and dollar coins. Soon,
there will be enough that the hoarders won;t think of them as "rare"
anymore and they will re-circulate many of them.

I only George-stamp a small fraction of the Twos I circulate, but I'm
getting some hits. An average of 5 a week.
