- Many people believe the 2 dollar bill is good luck. Why? In this video we explore the origins of other good luck charms - like the lucky 7, 4 leaf clover, horseshoe and more - and compare the $2 bill to see how it stacks up.

The $2 bill is so many different things to different people. Personally I think its pretty cool. Conversation starter and unique artwork on both sides
I’m the $2.00 guy now.. I’ve paid bills in $2.00’s in Central Texas, I’ve used $2.00’s more often.. I feel better carrying $2.00’s anyways. Store clerks know me as the $2.00 guy.. The response is awesome! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I wish I meet a female $2.00 lover like me. Yet I’ve waited for love since 1990. I guess marriage and family can wait.
They're lucky for they're such an underrated piece of currency.
Fascinating stories. I didn't know anything about horseshoes and their backstory. $2 bills have been pretty lucky for me without absolutely no research on why. I just like them (as well as most US Currency).
That's why most people think they're lucky - they just like 'em!
I keep a lucky red seal two dollar bill in my wallet. It's brought me really good luck and really good fortune these past few months along with rare finds like a Morgan dollar from 1904 in the coin star or a 1929 one hundred dollar someone spent on groceries where I work. I never take it out of my wallet.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Sick vid always entretaining, You deserve more subs
Thanks Leo. Got 19,000 subs, but not many of them watch. You can help out by sharing a video or two around! Would be greatly appreciated.
Hey my Grandma had a $2 bill
I just snuck a $2 bill in my graduation when I got my diploma
So work in a restaurant and i was super kind and talked to this lady that seemed a little different and i helped her gave her her food and had good conversation. Before she left she was very appreciative and said she had a gift she gave me a $2 dollar bill and said it was good luck. I looked it up and the 5 reasons why it’s bad luck i have been having issues with. Did i just get cursed or is it really lucky ?
It's neither nor good nor bad luck. It's what you believe it to be. Most people think it's good luck because they also believe it's rare (it's not) and a unique item. But it also has a history of superstitions behind it. I would treat yours like regular currency and spend it - you'll probably make someone's day.
The 2$ bill, the Half dollar coin and the Dollar coin are the ones that are rarely used.
Yup.
Hi!
If there's a regime change in Washington next January, I suspect the $2 bill will get a re-design.
I had heard that, too. Joe Biden wants to eliminate it. That would be unlucky for us.
I have not heard that, but it would be disappointing if true.
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Probably some form of urban lore, designed to politically sway the vote. Maybe this is a great reason to hit the banks when they open for a few more stacks of twos. Love them.
Great site. Thank you.
Went to the bank today the teller did not have any 2s so my luck was not that good but I did get a few rolls of quarters
Maybe quarters are lucky then.
Bill 457, if you visit other banks, and drop $20.00’s $50.00’s or $100.00’s ask for $2.00’s the teller will dig for it. I dropped $50.00 bill and got back $40.00 in $2.00’s! Drive Thru tellers might have wads of $2.00’s and dollar coins. One bank I drove thru, had over $2,500 in $2.00’s! Two banks said I had to have an account.. But some love to trade $2.00’s for $10,20,50,100 bills. It’s a sweet experience! ❤️❤️❤️ I traded two’s for a $10.00 for a store clerk wanted $2.00’s for her grand-kids..
I have 1 in my wallet but only because I forgot to send it home to the other 2$ bills. 🥴
Just keep it in there! It's like a second home to $2 bills.
Are $2 bills still in circulation during COVID 19 ?
Just like any other denomination, yes, even if some places aren't using cash as much. But they SHOULD use twos, because they may be safer: czcams.com/video/3X2MSPayHj8/video.html
I have a collection of $2.00 bills
Any good ones like red seals or older ones?
Charles.. KEEP the Red Seals!!! They are übër rare!
Is it bad that I'm picturing 3 legged rabbits on crutches?
Perfectly normal.
The rabbits foot wasn’t too lucky for the rabbits!
No, it wasn't. I almost used that line in the video, but decided against it.
Great as always my friend but I heared that they are going to either redesign or retract 2 $ bills next year.Don't know if it is true.However they will be become lucky dollars cauz they are going to be rare .
Not true. Not true at all. A redesign is only needed to add anti-counterfeit measures, which the $2 doesn't need because it's too small of a denomination. Even if they did redesign it, the old twos probably wouldn't be rare, because there are still enough of them out there, even if there are no new ones. Thanks for commenting! Good to hear from you.
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Nice to hear fro my friend.Fake news everywhere.lol.Keep entertaining us.
Taking a short break after 11 weeks in a row with a video, but new stuff coming soon!
in the past $2 bill was bad luck
And here's why... czcams.com/video/lUXhwYvvXK8/video.html
Lucky number 7? Pfft. I absolutely detest that number. It's odd, it's rarely evenly divisible or easily multiplied, it brings years of bad luck, it's irritability revered by simpletons, and it just looks like a lazy 1. I actively avoid this number when working with it. Rather trying for 6 or 8 if possible. The only time I tolerate it is if it's not something I can not easily reject like a credit card number. The 2 dollar bill, on the other hand, is easily lucky and perfectly acceptable no matter the occasion.
All good, but as the video shows, the $2 bill has ZERO origins for being a good luck charm, while the 7 at least has something tangible to latch onto. The bottom line is that all good luck charms are in the eye of the beholder; no item inherently is lucky or unlucky - that's foolish thinking. We assign the qualities of luck to various items because of our own experiences.
@@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary Very true. Sorry for the rant. Got a little carried away there. 😐
I rant and rave about the $2.00’s. Best way to learn currency history and you look cool spending $2.00’s. ❤️👍🖖😇
