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.

Added: It is said that the primary reason that they are uncommon in general circulation is that cash register drawers are not configured with a separate compartment to handle them, and automatic vending machines are not programmed to accept them.
