it's unlucky, because that's all they have to spend, they don't have any more money but the remaining $2 bill in their pocket. Last bill really goes, they don't stay in your pocket. that's why it's unlucky!!!!!

I believe that cash registers are to blame for the shop owner unwillness to take the $2. When they made the cash drawer, it was set up for $1, $5, $10, $20 and maybe a space to put checks (before debit cards...). No home for the $2 bill except for maybe under the cash drawer. That's my opinion...

My grandmother always said that they were lucky. She would always give each of my 2 sisters, myself and my brother one for birthdays/holidays. In 1985 my parents house exploded due to a faulty install of a propane furnace. Lets just say that NOTHING survived the explosion/fire except my mom's Bible, an antique rocker, wedding album and ALL FOUR 2 dollar bills! I think that grandma was right :-)

Actually I believe the reverse is true. Years ago I sent my brother a $2 bill in his birthday card. He told me that when he went out that night to celebrate he used the two-dollar bill to buy a beer. The bartender made a remark about not seeing too many $2 bills and my brother told he he got it for his birthday. Well....the crowd at the bar told him he shouldn't spend his "lucky" $2 on his birthday and they all bought him a round of cold beers until closing time. (He took a cab home)

Every time someone gets a $2 dollar bill it seems they go broke or have to spend all the money they have until they get rid of the $2 dollar and become broke!

My grandmother didn't like them because she felt they could easily be mistaken for a $20. If you thought you got a $20 and gave change for it then check your wallet later and have a $2 bill, that would indeed be unlucky.
