  • Use 2 dollar bills! That's the message of this video. Learn the top 7 benefits you get when getting $2 bills out of hiding and into circulation. They're not rare banknotes, and they're not made just for numismatics people or collectors. Spring them on cashiers at the cash register and see what happens. Get the full list in this fun video from the producer of The Two Dollar Bill Documentary.

    I work as a bank teller. Yes, we get tons of $2 bills, but I’ve noticed that my coworkers don’t particularly like them at all. I’ve also noticed that the customers don’t like them either. They prefer having all $1 bills as opposed to a few $2 bills. So my coworkers don’t like them because they can’t get rid of them, so they always end up in the bank vault, ready to be shipped out. I have always liked the $2 bills and from working as a teller I can confirm that the customers simply don’t want them most of the time, even when I try to put them back into circulation. My question here is why do customers not like them? Why do they prefer having 4 $1 bills as opposed to just 2 $2 bills? Thanks, I hope this question gets a video 😁

      Thanks for the comment. I don't think this question can be turned into a video because I can't speak definitively for people about why they prefer one bill or another. What I can say here is that people continue to believe that $2 bills are rare, worth more, or won't be accepted elsewhere. There's more of a comfort zone in using a widely-known bill like the $1. It's also habitual - if you don't use $2s ever, you won't prefer them. Hopefully the videos on this channel will educate people enough to realize why $2s are great to use, starting with this video! You can help by sharing the video around. Thanks!

    Interesting video. Unique take on using $2 bills - the 7 C's. My favorite is "Cool". Using $2 bills is cool. Of course in these days of COVID 19 I can't remember the last time I used a bill of ANY denomination. Cool addition to the $2 Bill videos. I look forward to these videos. I hope you don't run out of ideas.

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  Před 4 lety +2

      Ideas are welcome! But I have a few ready to go. Probably not enough to stay with a weekly video, but I might go off topic some and do more things with novelties LIKE the $2 bill. It'll be a channel for quirky, seemingly-rare objects. And I'll always tie in the $2 somehow

      i confuse lots of kids where i spend my $2.00's! i drive up to the teller tube, drop a $50.00 and $20.00 and ask for $2.00 and dollar coins... tellers are super happy to trade or clear their cash tray of $2.00's and dollar coins!! The sad part, not ALL vending machines are capable of $2.00's they are antiquated quarter, dollar bill and dollar coin machines. $2.00's aren't popular enough to upgrade. 😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭

    The $2 bill is the only note that came back after being discontinued. The $1 bill went from being a silver certificate in 1957 to a Federal Reserve note in 1963.

    About 12 years ago or so, I went on vacation driving thru Washington state to the Dakotas and many other states in between. At the time, I had brought a bunch of the new Presidential dollar coins and used them randomly to purchase small items or as tips. One place (as in your "confusion" clip) wasn't sure if they would accept them. They did after I showed them that they were, indeed, US currency.
    I am about to go on another multi-state trip and recently went to bank to get a strap of $2.00 bills (in sequential order even). I had been debating on using the two's as tips or for small purchases or getting more Presidential dollar coins.
    After seeing this video, I think I'll have to go back and get another strap or two of the two dollar bills.

    • @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary
      @TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary  Před 11 měsíci

      Definitely get more! Maybe take some pictures or videos of where you used them or what the reaction was. Maybe I'll use them in a future video, or if nothing else, I'd just like to know what happened! Reactions are the best part of using twos.

For someone like yourself who uses them and doesn't just stash them somewhere, I'd also love to talk to you for another video about people who use them all the time.

      Thanks John. Will try to do more of what you're asking for. Gotta do them all with hidden cameras and logistics are a little tougher with contactless payments required at some places. But those are the most fun, so I'm definitely eager to do more of them.

      I wouldn't say that's WHY they were made, but they were used a lot for that purpose. In fact, doing so could often be a cause of bad luck. It's explained as part of this video: czcams.com/video/lUXhwYvvXK8/video.html
