Think the $2 Bill Is Unlucky? Think Again—It Could Be Worth Thousands
Long seen as odd or unlucky, the $2 bill has often been misunderstood. Some even thought it was no longer printed. But in truth, it’s still in circulation—and some rare versions can be worth a small fortune.
Why the Bad Reputation?
The $2 bill has historically been unpopular, seen as awkward for cash transactions. Some superstitious people even tore off corners, hoping to “reverse a curse.”
