Hey, I didn't know 2$ bills were real untill after my Dad told me he *wasn't* joking about them -- they are extremely rare, which makes finding them difficult. And therefore, most people don't know they exist unless they have been introduced for some specific reason.

They're not that rare. You can just walk into a bank and ask for one (either as change, or part of a withdraw transaction... TANSTAAFL). I have one in my wallet right now, in fact.

And I think they might still be printed... I know the year on bills indicates only when the bill was designed, not when it was printed.

Think I'll go buy some video cables at Best Buy. I'll be bringing some $2.00 bills and some old $1.00 "Silver Certificates" Me needs some damages money for a BMW cycle or Harley.

I just asked for 2$ bills and was told "no-go".

And I ran into a knowledgeable computer-geek at Radioshack just the other day. Very knowledgeable, in fact.
