Twos? I don't want no stinking twos. (worthless read)
Bro owed me $30, gives me a $50 and I give him 10, $2 bills for
change. He utterly refuses them saying no-one would want these. Ask him if he carries singles and replies "only if I have to". WTF? Had to give him 2, $10 instead. Still not getting them put back in circulation. The cashiers either stick them under the register or pocket them to collect 'em. |

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. "Duh_OZ" wrote in message ... Bro owed me $30, gives me a $50 and I give him 10, $2 bills for change.

My previous favorite bank for coin changing (now worse than CoinStar), at my last visit, *offerred* $2 bills (Jeffies?) as part of my exchange. Maybe after I finish my Dollar coin challenge, I will try a Jeffie challenge. Les http://life-of-coins.blogspot.com/ |

So if I average a hundred bills every two-and-a-half weeks, that's just over two thousand $2 bills a year. People love them. They don't always know where to put them in the drawer, though. Funny how they often put them under the drawer but keep checks, which would never be handed out in change, in the drawer. Paul -- Paul Anderson OpenVMS Engineering Hewlett-Packard Company |

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.
