  • Although most people keep their 2 dollar bills in a safe place, there are many people who use them frequently in a transaction. In this bonus clip from the makers of The Two Dollar Bill Documentary, meet a few of the people who put these $2 bills banknotes back into the economy - some are clemson fans - some are normal consumers - and learn their rationale for doing so.

    I use them to pay tolls. 99% of the reaction is positive. Every now and then I get an ecstatic reaction. Today I got 2 smiles. The regular collectors on my route call me the $2 trucker, cuz I pay my $4.25 toll in two $2 bills and a quarter every day, twice a day. I paid 2 $12 tolls today on a water run today and got a smile both times. (This isn't my normal run). I try to pay exact change with the largest denomination of bills and coins, as it helps the collectors keep their money drawers up and it keeps me from having to handle and keep more bills and coins on hand and track of

      You should get a camera in your truck that can see out the driver window, and record these interactions! Some of that sounds like good stuff to use in a future video. In fact, if I lived where there were tolls, I'd pay with twos all the time and record what happened, and turn it into a video here if it were interesting enough. Thanks for the comment!

    I think what is keeping them rare is fools thinking their rare keeping them. Preventing them from circulating.

      @Mario Salinas people aren't spending dollar coins because there's no way to carry them with them my wallet has no place to put coins of any type at least not that I know of. I actually carry a second walk with me just to put the coins in and I have a few fake bills and other stuff any other compartments just in case I get robbed give me your wallet

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  Před 5 lety +2

      They're not ruined with a stamp - they can still be spent and should be accepted by vendors. If they end up at a bank, they will be sent back to the Federal Reserve to be destroyed, but then that amount goes into the next printing order to replace them.

      That's great to hear - we think alike! Maybe you've seen a recent video we posted where we go to 10 banks trying to find them: czcams.com/video/bpfBAwf2HPI/video.html And it sounds like you'd love the documentary we made about $2s.
