Consider Interesting 2 Dollar Bills



When we go to a store many of us pay for our goods by cash if we don’t have our credit cards with us. We are very familiar with the different money values that we see regularly. For this reason when people see a 2 dollar bill they will either regard it as being a fake money bill or they will decide that it is so rare that they need to possess this bill.

Even though you will not see the 2 dollar bill all that much, there are some of these 2 dollar bills in circulation. In many cases the 2 dollar bill has become a collector’s item for the people who come across it. As this is the case the amount of 2 dollar bills that you can find are consider as being used by various businesses is very small. Since the 2 dollar bill is not thought of as being part of the monetary system there are few facilities for shops and other places to accept the 2 dollar bill. There is another problem that you may run into when you try to use a 2 dollar bill.

There are still others who may feel that you are spending fake money. Therefore if you do come across a 2 dollar bill you might want to hang on to it until you can exchange it at the bank where they will not look at you funnily. You will see 50 dollar bills, 100 dollar bills and even 1 dollar bills.

This 50 dollar bill or “Grant” as it is also called has been given a face lift to deal with the many counterfeiters who like to use the real versions to see how they can make their own version of a 50 dollar bill. While there are many security features that have been added there is much of the old 50 dollar bill present so that people will not complain. Just off the lower right side of President Grant’s portrait there is a silver blue star that has been added to the 50 dollar bill.

These new designs have been added so that the people who like to print out fake money will have a hard time trying to duplicate american eagle coins. These types of new design features will allow the various security people and store vendors see if they are be given a genuine 50 dollar bill or if they have a reproduction on their hands. Then again, the larger notes of yesteryear would definitely have a hard time fitting into the wallets and pocketbooks of today.
