I found a couple of different explanations:
1) "Deuce" (two) is a slang term for "the Devil".
2) A two is the lowest card in a deck. Gamblers apparently associated the two dollar bill with the "two" card.

Well, well, well. Sounds like two dollar bills could very well be unlucky. Hey! Anyone out there need to change your luck? If you'd like to rid yourselves of the cursed currency, I can help. I'll send you my address and you can send those godforsaken, devil bills to me. I'll dispose of them in a safe and productive manner.
