scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 11:57 am Quote: However, after an investigation, police from the Fort Bend School District determined that it was, in fact, genuine, so an officer returned the bill to Sharon. The police had to investigate US currency. I wonder if they would have accused her of being from outer space if she tried to pay with 2 Eisenhower dollars? Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3477 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 2:21 pm WHy are any of you surprised that people who can't make change for common currency, surprised that these folks don't recognize something other than a $1, $5, $10 or $20? Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 4:02 pm How many people under the age of 30 know that not only $2 bills, How @ $2 1/2 Gold coins, or Two Cent Pieces, two DIFFERENT 3 cent coins? It's sad that our public fool systems no longer teach historical perspectives and backstories (biographies) any more, has to be politically motivated to the dumbing down of our youth... If I say too much more I'll get taken down! Brian, how many of your friends know about a $2 bill or ever seen one? Edited by Crazyb0 04/10/2017 4:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 5:05 pm That no school administrator or police official had ever heard of a $2 bill is remarkable. Or is it. Report this Post to the Staff
Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 12:45 am My mother in law lost a bet to me about U.S. $2 bills being real. She said they didn't exist..... So I pulled one out of my wallet and handed it to her. She still thought it was fake. We both live in Canada and haven't seen $2 bills here in over 20 years so she really thought she was going to win the bet. Report this Post to the Staff
