While some people think that the U.S $2.00 bill is unlucky but lots of people in Vietnam loved to have it, never spend it and called it lucky money. Every time I travel to Vietnam, I always carry at least 100 $2.00 bills just to tips people at hotels, restaurants, night clubs,bars or give it to friends and I always receive a warm welcome and good services when I come back to those places. I give them lots of luck maybe.

Because the $2 bill has a misprint. All of the US currency says, "In God we trust". But, on the $2 bill, if you look closely, it says, "In Dog we Trust".

And if you believe that, I just wanna say, hahahahah

I've collected them for years since I worked at Dominos. I would get them as tips. I think I have over 20 of them, and quite silver half dollars as well

Why don't we prove just the opposite as all this negative talk about bad luck is so silly in the first place. How can we prove that the $2.00 bill is not unlucky? Well unlike all the former persons writing and wanting you to send them your $2.00 bills to turn their lazy ways into a scam to make easy money, you could prove that this unlucky urban legend is just that, another made up story. How you ask? I have lost most of my work and I'm just hanging on to life. I have no medical insurance, have had three heart attacks, have high blood pressure, clogged arteries and need some cash to get myself well. I'm not a dog, cat, dolphin, white tiger, gorilla, panda bear, sea turtle, wild horse or any other animal on an endangered list all of which I read nearly every day get financial help from the human race. No unfortunately I'm just another human being, a man age sixty that needs some help. So if you have a concern for one of your own kind/species send me your $2.00 bills and maybe I can get the medical help I need to see a few more happy years. Write to me if you're interested in helping me at a time of need and to prove the U.S. $2.00 bill is not unlucky and really a blessing for all at rifkinhollypest@yahoo.com Thank you from my still beating heart.
