Are two-dollar bills unlucky?

Question

im hearing that they are unlucky or lucky.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

I am a very superstitious person and I have never heard that a 2 dollar bill was unlucky or lucky. I do have to admit that when I get one, I save it and have an album full of them. I don't know why, but I do.....I would just think it is not normal to get a 2 dollar bill back as change or something like that. Now a 3 dollar bill is very UNLUCKY....

Answer 3

Saw a guy get the police called on him while ordering a cup of coffee. Because not even the manager of the fast food restaurant knew that there was such a thing as a 2 dollar bill. They thought it was counterfeit. Trying to help the guy out, neither the cashier or manager would believe me that it was real. It took the cops 5 minutes to straighten it out.

Id' say if you had someone who never heard of a 2 dollar bill, it may be more frusterating than unlucky.

Answer 4

Consider by some yes it is...........The link below has some good info on the two dollar bill...........

The United States two dollar bill ($2) is a current denomination of U.S. currency. Former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson is featured on the obverse of the note. The painting The Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull is featured on the reverse. The design on the obverse (excluding the elements of a Federal Reserve Note) is the oldest of all current U.S. currency having been adopted in 1929; the reverse is the second oldest design having been adopted in 1976.

In spite of its relatively low value, the two dollar bill is one of the most rarely-seen denominations of U.S. currency. They are almost never given as change for commercial transactions, and thus consumers rarely have them on hand. Indeed, standard cash register drawers have slots for ones, fives, tens, and twenties, but not twos. Production of the note is quite low; approximately 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills. This rarity has led to an overall lack of public knowledge of the $2 bill and has also inspired urban legends and folk beliefs concerning it (see below).

Throughout the $2 bill's Pre-1928 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a United States Note, Silver Certificate, Treasury or 'Coin' Note, and a Federal Reserve Bank Note. When U.S. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a United States Note. After United States Notes were discontinued, the $2 bill later began to be issued as a Federal Reserve Note.

Answer 5

I'd say if you had no money and found a 2 dollar bill , you would be lucky.... In Australia we have 2 dollar coins as they did away with the notes years ago...

Answer 6

Is your house lucky or unlucky? Is your chair lucky or unlucky?

I guess I shouldn't have insulted you like this. Sorry.

Answer 7

Whereas for their luck or lack, I would hope they are lucky since many people give them as presents for births and especially for toddler birthdays. We kept them in a special place for my children. My daughter, who is 18, has one of them taped to her mirror...along with other special mementos.

I vote lucky if for no other reason than they make you feel good to own them.

Answer 8

Well in Hoodoo they are used in money mojo bags...so it depends on if you think money is lucky or unlucky.
