That's my opinion. Not only are they still in "circulation", they are still being printed and shipped to banks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do them in batches but not every year. They printed more than 100 million of them in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was stationed in Germany many years ago, all of the soldier support venues, example: Post Exchange, Commissary, Youth Activities, military banks, military pay offices, and so on, didn't receive any one-dollar bills, only Susan B.

Come on bro... 😂 I am not saying I wouldn't use $2 bills if I had them since they are legal currency but I def wouldn't go out of my way to get them to give out. I think I tried once at my local bank in NJ and they said I had to special order then like foreign currency lol.

I go often for many reasons. I don't even get out of my car. My current bank (which is actually a C.U.), depending on, which teller I talk to, will be happy to order them for me, while others won't. I either get them or I don't, I don't lose any sleep over it if I don't. But, the next time I have to go into the bank and talk about a loan or other interests I have with them, I'll discuss that with them, the loan officer is also the GM or AGM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to special order them, then they aren't normal bills the bank keeps around and by definition more annoying to change and use. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously thinking every bank does this? I am ok with you using $2.. that's all you but don't try to make it sound like it's normal lol.

If you have to special order them, then they aren't normal bills the bank keeps around and by definition more annoying to change and use. I didn't say anything about "Special Order" them. It's part of their everyday cash order from their supplier, like Brinks. They order today what they want tomorrow, or whatever the time frame is. They order X amount of boxes of nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollar coins if wanted (minimum by the box, you can't order .75 cents in quarters). They also order the bills they want, it's not a special order, it's part of their routine order, I don't care what excuses a teller has told you for not wanting to get them for you. Yes, they may have to order a minimum amount, but that doesn't mean they can't get rid of the amount you don't want. All they have to do is make the excess a part of the deposit to their banking institution or give them out as change to their customers or both. As stated, as the Manager of the FLL parking facilities, we did as little as a hundred thousand dollars worth of CASH business a day to a few hundred thousand dollars worth of CASH business a day, depending on travel season, we were cash intense. It's probably changed a little by now. Or daily cash requirement was handled exactly like a bank does. We got our cash from the Armored Car Company, just like banks do. If I wanted, for example, $2.00 dollar bills, it was the Armored Car's responsibility to get them for us. Total transparency, we NEVER ordered two-dollar bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I didn't think I had to explain this but by special order... I meant "order" since the teller couldn't just hand me the bills (only asked for 50 for $100) right there and then like they could with singles, fives, 20s, 50s, 100s unless you were withdrawing a huge amount! It's like inventory in a store, people will keep inventory of things that get requested often otherwise it's just wasting space. I only tried to get a stack of $2 once and it's not like she said no... She was like we would have to order it and you would need to come back...
