That's what I remember about $2 bills - they were popular at race tracks because $2 was a popular bet.


That is why I saw them often at the store I worked in, it was close to a horse race track.

Neat story about the $1 Million display at Horseshoe! I assume it was protected by heavy glass, much like the Declaration of Independence.

Want to see what a Trillion Dollars looks like?

Neat story about the $1 Million display at Horsesh... (show quote)


I have used time to explain the debt. 1 dollar per second.
A million seconds is 12 days
A billion seconds is 31 years
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years, times 35 is what the money changers and merchants stole from us. Left/right(war) theater is the distraction for the Jekyll Island cartel's 1913 Federal Reserve and Revenue act. money magik.

At the current rate, the national debt grows by one trillion dollars every one hundred days.
The U.S. population is about 332 million. How much do you owe?
Do you now understand why we are not on the gold standard?

It is likely that most UHHers have seen a $2 bill? You may well have wondered if it's funny money. It's not. The $2 bill has been printed by the U.S. Treasury almost continuously since the Civil War, and there are still 1.4 billion of them in circulation. The last series of $2 bills was printed in 2017.

• The $10,000 bill was the largest denomination ever to be printed for public circulation in the U.S.
• A collector cannot legally hold a $100,000 bill. What to govt. would do if you have one is unknown.
• Today, a $500 or $1,000 bill may be worth more than its face value as a collector's item.

I've seen/held them all except the $100,000. (My dad was a high mucky-muck at a large bank and he took me in the vault with him to show me around. Guessing that probably wouldn't fly today)
