...you can purchase a $2 bill for $10? Only $10 for a $30 value!! I totally understand the value of collecting, but what the eff. I'd rather spend it.

Mt Baker has the hookup on $2 bills, so do the WA ferry docks. Any time you get change at either place, expect a 2.

I don't see what is so shocking here. People will pay more than the usual value for collectables. The fact that this collectable is currency itself makes it more apparent i guess, but this goes the same for any rare item people like to collect, be it stamps or cars or anything else.

You're right. I get that for things like old coins because no one uses them as currency anymore. $2 are still somewhat readily seen and used in everyday stores. If you handed a store a pure $50 gold coin from 1915, I don't think they'd accept it.

I don't know I guess I understand why it's "worth more" but I will also laugh at people who spend over $10 to have a $2 bill.

Umm you can go to the bank and ask for $2 bills, only the 'collectors' ones are 10 or w/e.

Exactly. My dad gets them every time he picks up a small amount of money, and when I spend them people freak out, when its really nothing special
