The $2 bill seems to be making a comeback.
America’s little-used $2 bill, usually found in souvenir drawers, is on a roll. From mom-and-pop retailers to strip-club owners, the bill is shedding its play-money image and turning up in more and more wallets.
In 2005, depository institutions ordered $122 million in $2 notes, according to Federal Reserve statistics. That is more than double the average amount ordered from 1991 to 2000.
“We noticed the increase in demand beginning in 2001,” said Michael Lambert, assistant director for cash at the Federal Reserve. That year, banks ordered $92 million in $2 notes and ever since, the orders have grown.
Evidently they’re popular at strip clubs.
I blame Canadians. At least the ones who visit strip clubs.
