Best Answer

he US has printed $2 bills since 1862 and they've always been legal for any purchases. The most recent printing was in late 2006. They make up less than 1% of all bills in circulation but that still amounts to hundreds of millions of bills. Any larger bank should be able to provide all you want (for $2 each, of course).

Busting the myths:

$2 bills have never been discontinued and have never been withdrawn. In addition, they're neither "cursed" nor "unlucky" as some people believe.

The future:

Inflation, increased printing costs, and savings resulting from a switch to $1 coins has led several members of Congress to introduce legislation phasing out $1 bills with a compensating increase in the use of $2 bills. As of late 2011 no action has been taken but the issue is now at least on some lawmakers' radar.
