I like to spend twos, dollar coins, and halves. Every now and then I will ask the clerk if they are going to use them for change or will they just go to the bank at the end of the day. Sometimes they will say they are going to keep them for themselves. But I've never had a clerk say they are going to give them back out as change. Does anyone else ask the clerks this question?

Back in the mid 70's I picked up a few CU $2 bills with first of issue stamps on them . I haven't seen one in years . I would love to have a graded low ball of a 1976 $2 bill . |

When did you start your hobby? As far as paper money goes, around 2005. I've been collecting "something" for about 30 years and I'm starting to thin the herd. I just sold my domed, Star Trek Lunchbox and thermos on ebay for $1,425. It's incredible what people will pay for nostalgia. |

I got same reaction when I spent some extra 2's...also a younger gal who looked it up and down and asked her manager if it was real. Other times it amost seemed as an annoyance to them.

I get reactions every time I spend Ikes, from "I'm not even going to ask" to a clerk who asked the manager, with the latter responding "It's legal tender, so yeah!" : )

Hey OP, Cool to hear. Same thing happened to me about 3 years ago. I was surprised as well as I never expect to see them circulated. Mine was in vg-f condition.

Got $20 worth of $2's after my previous post in December. Used one to pay for my morning coffee at UDF one day and the young girl cashier was like "Wow." I doubt she had ever seen one. Gave one to my 14 year old daughter, told her to go ahead and spend it and I'd give her another one that was better. She thought it was cool and still has it in her cell phone case lol.

Nice! I do like the reactions I get spending something not often seen in circulation.
