Picked this up at the bank today when I asked if they had any $2 bills. It was in such bad condition that I stuck it in a sleeve before taking a picture of it (and still managed to damage it further while getting it into the sleeve):   I"m sure it has no premium in this condition. In fact, I'm not even sure it is still worth $2 in this condition. But I think I'm gonna hold onto it anyway just because it has so much character. Plus, I don't know of any merchant that would be willing to take it as payment... |

Monetary value aside, this is a cool little piece of history.  I'd take that instead of $2 any day. It makes you wonder, who wrote the number 8 on it? And when? And why...? |

Always fun to find red seal two's at the bank. Even better with a star. Nice!  |

Any merchant who'd accept it, probably not. Not in that condition, not with a red seal (could appear counterfeit), and probably not in general (it's a $2 bill after all; they're all funny money). Value: you'd might stand a chance on ebay, but you'd be the worst one there; otherwise, torn in half, town in eighths, cut into a jigsaw puzzle, less than half burned (alright, you might need to send it directly to the BEP at that point), any bank will take it and give you a new one...so it's still worth $2 (yeah!). Surprised the bank didn't designate the bill to the Fed Shred pile (aren't they also trying to get rid of older money anyway?). |

If it were me, I'd put it up for sale at your favorite auction site. My guess is that you may get $10 for it. But who knows?

Wow that's really awesome! I wish things like that came into my teller station here at work!
Thanks for sharing, Trevor.
