$2 bills were the best way to tell when the patrons at a racetrack are getting low on money.

I have an uncut sheet of $2's I bought back in '98.

I think you can go to the bank and just ask for a bunch of them?

Also use a LOT of them if a business gets on my bad side. :evil:
That and dollar coins.

Question, can they legally refuse to take such tender? I've seen places refuse large bills, even if they have the correct change. I've always thought they couldn't, but then how do so many places get away with refusing large bills?

At a Taco Bell about 10 years ago I attempted to pay for my food using a $2 bill. The cashier looked at it, than looked at me and laughed and said "no serious" and handed it back to me. I tried to give it back to her and she told me she needed real money. I told her it was real money. She started to see I was serious, and told me they only accept $1, $5, $10 & $20's, and without flat out saying it, basically was saying I was full of shit and this wasn't real cash. I ask to speak to her manager (she was about I dunno 20 or so BTW) so the manager comes, he was maybe 35. She explains to him what happened. He eye balls me strangely, and takes the bill from me. Looks at it and tells me he's going to get the police involved as I'm trying to rip them off. Sounds like alotta hassle on my part for THREE FUCKING 50 cent tacos.

I told him "fine" he calls the police, they show up, he tells them I'm trying to pass counterfeit money. The cop takes the bill from the man and tells him "it's real" the manager looks baffled. He didn't even say sorry, just asked if I still wanted the tacos. I left and went across the street to Carls Jr.

I could almost understand the teenage chick not knowing a $2 (almost) but he was damn near 40.

I forget what it was but one day I paid for something that was >300$ in all 2$ bills. I think the place wouldn't take my debit card for some inane reason, so I had to goto a nearby branch to get cash.. Could've taken 20s from the atm, but the 2$'s felt more fun.
