OMG this has got to be the funniest thing I've ever read

[zeruty]

$2 bills are cool

I wish there were more around



what I've heard is that if you try to buy something, and you try to pay with anything nickels or higher, and they refuse... they are refusing payment via legal tender, and the debt is fulfilled, so therefore you legally own the item

I dont know how true that is though

That's almost as funny as the first story...thanks

 

[KokomoGST]

LMAO, great story... I've only gotten weirdness for legal tender once when those goldcolor $1 coins first started printing a year or so ago. All the subway machines in NY spit them out as change, I had a few in my pocket on a trip to central Illinois and was trying to buy a soda from some fast food stop... I got this "WTF is dat?!" look.

 

[LakerGod]

Hahaha...classic.

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

oh my . I want to get a handfull of $2 bills and just spend them at fast food places like that and whatnot.

 

[CaesarX]

LOL!!

 

[SOSTrooper]

Can you exchange for $2 bills at the bank?

 

[tk149]

Funny story, but I first saw it in 1990.

 

[cjchaps]

Snopes says this may or may not be real. You make the call...

 

[rudder]

hmm I have some Sacagawea coins I should see about spending. I will probably get yelled at for using Canadian money or something.

 

[cherrytwist]

Ok. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. Thanks.

I haven't tried recently but I'm pretty sure you still can. One of my friends often gets two-dollar bills from the bank when he gets money to spend, just to be different. I think he said they limit you to $100 worth each time, I don't remember exactly though. I'm not sure who he banks with now either, last time I asked it was Wells Fargo.

 

[DeafeningSilence]

From a user on that forum:

you have to be an idio to no know a 2 dollar bill

 

[eakers]

did this happen in canada?

we haven't had two dollar bills for a long time.

 

[StageLeft]

ROFL only at taco bell!

 

[GreenGhost]

I don't remember ever getting a $2 bill myself, for the past 10 years or more. Same w/ dollar coins: I got some in Vegas (old ones), and got a couple of the new ones in a vending machine at the post office. People around here don't like these fancy money stuff.

 

[MikeMike]

um wtf would they say to a susan b. anthony coin?

hey its worth a friggin dollar and i got a few

also the half-dollar coins i got a few of, and i havent seen ne 1 use those in a while

yeah i hate that, no one knows what they are. not to mention they're a pain in the ass.

Makes me want to get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail. At least you get free food.

Hahahahahaha. That was a great post.
