A lady at work was going through her mother's stuff and came across 45 $2 bills from the 50s and 60s. Honestly, they aren't worth much more than face value, and she didn't know what to do with them, so I bought them from her for face value today. I'm telling others at school they make great stocking stuffers for their kids, and cheap, too!

When I was a child, in the '50s, my great aunts would send me a $2 bill for Hanukkah every year. It was big money, at first. In the '60s, it still was $2.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the Tooth Fairy gave my daughter a dime per tooth in the '80s, until she wrote a courteous letter to the TF pointing out that her friends got $1 to $10 per tooth. The TF should have gotten some $2 bills.
