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. What this means is that because there are not many people using these dollar bills there is no real need to print out a large amount of 2 dollar bills. Instead you will find that various other items have been placed in the sections where the 2 dollar bill needs to go. As so very few people have heard of a 2 dollar bill much less seen one, they may think that you are trying to play some type of game with them.
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 an american eagle coin. 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. Today you will be able to find the 50 dollar bill as being 6.1 inches, smaller than what it was in 1861.
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. These urban legends or folktales have all inspired the myth that the 2 dollar bill is not what you would consider as being real money.
