fifteen two for the money

#17 February Two

We play a lot of cribbage in February!!
Another snow event tomorrow...


My granddaughter gave me this bill long ago.
Her lobsterman Dad sometimes received 2 dollar bills when selling his catch and always gave them to his kids.
She wanted me to have one too!
two dollar bill 1976
First printed in 1862, the bill was discontinued in 1966 but was reintroduced 10 years later as a potential cost-saving measure.
Today, it is seldom seen in circulation, and as a result, the production of the note is the lowest of U.S. banknotes: fewer than 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills.
This comparative scarcity in circulation, coupled with a lack of public awareness that the bill is still in circulation, has also inspired urban legends and occasionally has created problems for people trying to use the bill to make purchases.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice thinking Terry.
I really enjoy playing crib, a game that is dying out.

Nice idea with the cribbage board.

Our lowest bill in NZ is $5. Our coins are $2, $1, 50cents, 20cents, and our lowest is 10cents.

I haven't seen one of these in years. I'm glad you kept yours. Nice juxtaposition with the cribbage board. V.

I hadn't realized that there was a $2 US bill! What a wonderful and interesting shot for the challenge. V
