[Southern Elk]

Have a couple that my grandmother gave me. Haven’t seen one in a long time.

 

[Mudranger1]

I have 1 in my wallet that I got when I was about 10

 

[BackofBeyond]

My grandmother used to give us grandkids one every year for our birthday.

 

[EYJONAS!]

Everytime we recycle scrap metal or batteries we get them.

Why do scrap yards always seem to have em?

I exchange em out with a couple bucks and keep em.

 

[westbranch]

I have one in my wallet. Don't remember where I got it from several years ago. My wife thinks I should get rid of it.

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

Got a couple in my night stand.

 

[crock239]

Haven't seen one in a long time. My alma mater had a tradition where fans traveling to the football bowl game would get a bunch, stamp them with a tiger paw logo, and spend them while in town for the bowl. Don't know if that's still a thing or not...but if you come across one with an orange tiger paw, that's why.

Popular at strip clubs


So I’ve heard

 

[Schaaf]

My kids have a few that they would kill to spend.

 

[Beignet]

One of my buddies used to hand them out to friends around the holidays as was his old family tradition. Still have mine in tatters in my wallet.

I believe you can still buy stacks of them cut or in uncut sheets from the treasury department if you had a strong desire to get some back into circulation.

Edit: I’m a dope, it’s the US Mint that sells these types of things.

They were popular when horse racing was alive and well. Minimum bet was $2 to win place or show, same thing for the daily double.

Saw a video a while back a guy took a buch into fast food places to pay and the kids their didnt think it was real money

 

[Oak]

I have a few around. You can still get them if you go ask for them.

Fun dad trick: Ask the kid if they want an old $2 bill or a new one. When they say new, pull out a crisp $1 bill.

 

[hank4elk]

I have several.
The one in my wallet I've had since the day I signed up for the Navy,1974. My mom gave it to me that day so I could make a call if I needed.
One of my other alias'...Jefferson.

 

[LuckyTom]

I had probably 60 of these I got as a kid for holidays. Just cashed them all in a few months ago along with all my .50 pieces, silver dollars, and other coins. One less thing.

 

[justdada]

I was at the bank today and a fellow next to me asked for $2 bills but they told him he needs to make an appointment for that....

 

[220yotekiller]

I got one in change last year, I got a couple of 50 cent pieces in change not long ago. They always remind me of my grandpa, he usually carried one, mebbie it was a "lucky piece."

 

[TheTone]

I’ve got a couple around.

I remember spending one at a restaurant when I was in high school. The cashier handed it back and accused me of using fake money. It took the supervisor to confirm it was real

 

[Carl]

I have a couple my grandfather gave me that stay tucked away.

My kids (3&5) did a lemonade stand on the 4th and someone paid with one. Which certainly raised an eyebrow.
