I was a cashier for a summer and got a $2 bill once. My boss didn't know what to with it so I traded him my 2 singles for the 2. I still have it in my wallet years later.

When I worked in fast food I always put them in the farthest left slot and then used them as needed when I ran low on one $1 bills. Same with half dollar and one dollar coins.

Here's a good topic for you to make a video on... businesses that use $2 bills regularly (like the magic shop), to make themselves stand out in the marketplace and make themselves memorable. It's a great, cheap, marketing ploy. I remember a strip club in Greenville, SC that gave $2 bills are charge after charging their cover to get in. I'll always remember that place.

Love how you end your video with footage of $2 bills at the BEP! Sends a more clear message that: Yes, this is a real thing. $2 bills aren't rare. Spend them.

as a cashier, I always leave my 2nd slot out of the 5 for $2 bills. I love spending them, but I never recieve them. hopefully one day everyone will start using $2 bills as much as they do with $1 bills

When a cashier asks, " Where do I put the 2's?" I tell them, "Between the 1's and 3's."

I used to work retail. I have grown to hate ones, but I love twos, because it saves so much space. :-)

Like the guy at  the end of the video, I keep my two dollar bills as a way to save a little extra cash.

All the registers I've used as a cashier have had four slots. I put the $2s, $20s, $50s, and $100s, in that order, in the slot furthest to the left. Usually I exchange the $2 for two $1s since it makes tallying up the money for the shift report easier.

If you have a 5 note till you should have slots for 1, 2, 5, 10 & 20, the 50 & 100's can go underneath as you don't need quick access to them for change, they'll be going to the bank. If you only have a 4 note till then keep 1's & 2's together.

When I work at fast food and retail we use to put them in bottom of register. I always told my managers and supervisor I buy em at the end of my shift. Till this day I got multiple of stacks of 2 dollar bills I saved😁

I like to use foreign currency and when the cashier asks me "Where do I put this?" I tell them, "No English"

[METALMANWii]

Just don't use them for your lunch kids or you'll be arrested.

I always keep my lucky $2 bills in my wallet💵

i work at 7/11 and we always put them in the farthest left slot and later in the day we drop them into the safe because we aren't really supposed to hand them out to customers as change. usually about once or twice a week a customer comes in to pay with a two dollar bill. if i'm working that day i like to exchange them for whatever cash i have cause i like collecting them

My parents (NOT THE TOOTH FAIRY) gave me a $2 bill for the second tooth that I lost when I was 5 or 6 (I’m now 17). That is the only one I have ever received and I keep it in my wallet for safe keeping.

When I get them I moved everything bill slot over on one accept for the one slot. I also like getting them from the bank

[traceyleeherrera]

I collected $2 bills for at least 20years, and wheat pennies too. Unfortunately they were all stolen from my home. Sometimes people suggest I try a bank to replace them but I feel silly, like it would be cheating in a way. I want them to cross my path by chance/good fortune.

Weird, when people use 2's not much happens, but when i spend 3 dollar bills i get looks

Our recycling yard gives out $2 bills as change
