I have a friend who works for the largest bank. The bank has thousands of employees who work in the USA's second largest office building. Next year, the food court in the building will no longer accept cash. When a bank won't take cash, it leads me to believe cash is on its way out. :( My friend regularly spends $2 bills there. I went to a couple college football games this year. When you buy food/drinks at the game, you must use credit/debit card. When you pay, there is a tip option. I said no tip and then tried to tip with a $2 bill. I was told they were not allowed to take cash tips and if someone saw her taking it, she would be fired on the spot. Got the same response when I tried it during the following game. Sad when you can't even giveaway $2s.
That does stink! I think cash will always be present, but its usage will decline in the same way you described. You'll probably see a decrease in the amount of cash ordered by the Treasury each year for the BEP to print.
I'm a $2.00 nut and spend them all the time. Only had 1 time where the merchant refused my $2 saying that they were a "bad luck sign" and didn't want them in his shop??? Love your videos
Yes, I order packs of them, they order a $1000 at a time. One time they made a mistake and got in $40,000 worth. They sent most back but kept some for me.
I have! It happened soon after I completed the full film (which is on the channel), otherwise I would have included it in the movie. Without any of my own footage about it or the chance to interview the people involved, I have no material to make a video for this channel. But I definitely know all about it!
Do you think that in 2026 the 250 years anniversary of our beloved United States of America the 1976 2 dollar bills will be more wanted, and secondly I can't find many 1995 two dollars bills, why are they rare, much rarer than the 1976, and finally golden series consecutive numbers of two dollars bills can get better prices, best regards
Thanks for the comment. I don't recall anything special happening in 1996 when it was the bill's 200th anniversary, so I can't imagine the 250th would be very different. But you never know. As for 1995, funny you should ask because that was the one question I left out of this video because it would have made it too long - someone asked why the only district they were made for is F (Atlanta). There were over 153 million notes printed, which pales in comparison to 1976 and even 2003. It just depends on demand - there wasn;t much then, so there aren;t too many of those bills floating around.

Thanks! Obviously, you're able to get $2s frequently. You have a nearby bank that gets them for you?

lol, what a stupid superstition.
What superstition is that? That he can get $2s at his bank??
Have you ever heard of the middle school girl who got the police called on her because she used a $2 bill in the school cafeteria?

Thank you!
I hope the $1 and $2 don't get redesigned. They're too classic in my opinion. And I absolutely LOVE the Declaration of Independence on the $2.
Right there with you on all of it.
