It isn't worth much but it is a near mint condition likely uncirculated $2 bill from 1963
you can buy perforated sheets of new ones at moneyfactorystore.gov, like Steve Wozniak does

Same year as the first X-Men comic. Nice.
Nice, you interested in numismatics?
Two dollar bills rock. I've worked two jobs in which I was the only one working the register who knew that $2 bills are a real thing, ha!
upon further investigation this thing might be worth like $1200 lol
Well that's queer...
Aren't all $2 bills like this?
No they are actually much much different. This is one from 2003
Must be a lot of them then. The $2 bills were stockpiled as cash for wages after a possible nuclear war. Americans rejected them so they government supposed they would be less Choosey after an attack. So there must be an abnormal amount that are from the 20th century that are in new condition.
$2 notes date back to the earliest years of modern US currency in the 1860s. I've heard the $2 note grew unpopular in more recent times due to its association with gambling. Horse and dog track bets tend to be based on $2 stakes, so a stack of $2s had a noxious connotation, like if someone busts out a huge stack of singles and you crack a joke that they must be a stripper.
Many countries get by fine with currency units worth ~$1 and $5 and nothing in between (i.e. Japan ¥100/500 coins, Korea 1000/5000 won notes)
Yeah that would make sense, I had no idea about the stockpile thing, got any sources I could read up on that. In fact that could be its own interesting post lol.
