Best Answer

Two dollar bills are available at most banks. All the bank needs to do is request the $2 bills in the standard bundles. However, your bank may feel that the demand for the bills is too low to warrant the request.

Uncommon, yes. Rare, no.

They don't show up in change very often because for various historical and cultural reasons many Americans don't like to use $2 bills. The Treasury only prints as many as are needed to meet demand. In fact, when they make a print run several tens of millions of $2 bills are issued but that number is low by comparison to the hundreds of millions or billions of other denominations printed.

Any bills you find in circulation dated 1976 or later are only worth face value. Even older $2 bills (1953 and 1963) don't carry much of a premium for collectors unless the bills are crisp and uncirculated.
