Doubt they would be though. Happy cruising. I’m ready to be on the water again. There is an unscientific survey one could perform. Offer someone in the service industry either two singles or one $2 bill. Tally and report. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted January 19, 2023 #177 Share Posted January 19, 2023 When I was in High School, I worked part-time for a local department store. They paid us in cash, and we'd find $2.00 bills in our pay envelopes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydJr Posted January 19, 2023 #178 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Since this thread is just circling in the ocean..... Newly manufactured cars have a lot of rubber on them. Tires, hoses, belts, seals, etc. Rubber has a real problem with aging. If a car has zero miles and was manufactured three years ago, it most certainly ain't "new." That said, I don't believe that rubber is a component in US currency. 😝 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaShark Posted January 19, 2023 #183 Share Posted January 19, 2023 "coronary abrasion"? Don't you think that's a bit over dramatic? Although, tbh, probably not as over dramatic as "amazing". Even at the suggested minimum wage of $15/hr, $2 only gets you 8 minutes....not sure that is the level I'd call "amazing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper $1 went the way of the Dodo bird in 1987, and I believe the Toonie came out around 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare New2cruise2022 Posted January 20, 2023 #190 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Would you rather have a $2 bill or 8 quarters? Would you rather have a $5 bill or three $2 bills? Existential questions for this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole “under god” bit wasn’t in the pledge at all until 1954. So, just saying there have been plenty of changes.
