Everybody that is saying they HAVE to take it are wrong. Here is a quote from the U.S. Treasury's website:
"There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. "
However a business will probably accept them and a bank definitely would. |

The answer is 2 fold:
1. Stores can deny your currency for any reason, even though they SHOULD accept it.
2. Banks don't have the same luxury. As long as 51% of the bill is intact, the bank must accept the bills.
$2 bills are not so rare that they appear counterfeit, but some stores may be hesitant to receive them since they don't have a slot for them in the cash drawer. If they give you a hard time, ask to speak to a manager immediately and then later file a complaint against them at the Better Business Bureau website - it's a fun way to get businesses in trouble if they screw up. |

Why not? The only way they won't accept it is if they think it's a fraud. |

2 dollar bills were used at one point in time. They should be accepted because they only stopped making them because people didn't use them very often. If you deposit them in a bank, I can't say whether or not they will thake it. Although, I would hold on to them because they may be worth a fortune someday.... |

I have never had a problem with stores taking my money -
I guess if you tried to cash alot of them you might have a problem (like cashing piles/rolls of loose change).
I guess you could always talk to the manager.
If the store still has a problem - tell them you'll take your business elsewhere - times are tough all over and nobody wants to lose a sale.
You could start at the bank to cash them or ask around to see if any money collectors would like to buy them from you to save the hassle :) |

They can refuse to take your money i'm afraid - can you change it or pay it in at your bank and draw out different notes? |

It's legal tender. If anyone refuses to take them, go to a bank. |

Banks will take them. Stores _should_ take them without problems, but occasionally, you run into the odd C-store clerk who is new and clueless, and won't. I often leave $2 bills as tips, and waiters remember me in a few visits. |

I have no clue, but I would keep the 2 dollar bills. They might be worth something one day since no more are being made. |

Unless it's counterfeit, the two dollar bill is still currency and can be used anywhere. You may want to keep at least one or two of these bills as they might someday be collectors items and be worth more money. |
