And I thought it was just wear! Article: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit...Superstition My note (see top one!) Report this Post to the Staff

shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 3:41 pm Gave 6 today to buy things and not corners were torn off by the cashiers. My mother has a red 2 with a missing corner, I keep 2 in my wallet that have missing corner on each. Luckily my red 2 has all corners intact. Guess most people today don't care as long as it isn't coins they have to count. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/15/2014 8:30 pm Never heard any of that before. I'd never sell my vote for just $2. They're worth at least twice that. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 08/25/2014 10:26 pm Never heard of this. However $50s are considered bad luck in Vegas. I am not superstitious so I like dropping 50s in Vegas. Especially on the craps don't pass line. Report this Post to the Staff
DCM Coins Valued Member United States 446 Posts	Posted 08/26/2014 11:02 am I've read where $2 bills are increasingly used at "gentleman's clubs". The thinking there is, is that the customers will hand them back as tips. That certainly doesn't help their public image any. Report this Post to the Staff

Bizman New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/09/2014 7:27 pm The article Jack Jeckel mentions includes a link to a survey. The breakdown of interests in the $2 bill is varied and has contradictions. So it seems the bottom line is the appeal or lack thereof is simple a matter of personal interest and legend.
