As a child I was told it was lucky but after a friend revealed to me Satan's face in the background of the bill as an adult I thought of it as unlucky.Now ,after reading the comments about the bad luck and chaos on this page,"I'm convinced"! The bill is definitely unlucky.

Prejudice & superstiton will never die. Stupidity also.By the way, which is the luckiest bill? 1000$, 100$, 10$, 5$, 1$? The one taken or the one given? And what, do you think, is "Devil's Eye"? Money, I wonder... All those bills, all those coins, all those credit cards... Or isn't?

Generally people are stupid. The two dollar bill is neat and unusual but to get superstitious over it just shows you why the American consumer is so easily swayed into scams. I'm much like the others, if your "weird/cursed money" scares you then give it to someone who will spend it. Maybe that will lift your curse and keep the economy going at the same time. Or send back to the government that issued it and demand some tax relief.

Money is money, why do we always use some kind of belief on everything!? Not only that, I haven't seen or whatever happen to the Big $1 coins not the .50cent coins, I'm talking about the coin that was the size of a miniture tea set plate. Remember? The only time I've seen those were at the antique shop.

In today's economy any person thinking that any other person is going to send them a two dollar bill free is either a fool or a con artist. Take your pick, Lord, protect such persons as the con people; they should be ashamed of themselves.
