$2 bills aren’t rare at all. You can walk into your local bank and get a stack of them anytime, if you’d like.

Okay, awesome point.

Meanwhile, in my 25 years of living in the US (NJ, SoCal, and NorCal), I can count on one hand the number of times I've come across them "in the wild".

I started collecting them in 2004 by keeping every one I ran into in person and I now have: 3.

They’re mostly used by strip clubs so if that’s not your thing, you’ll rarely see them.
Strip clubs also commonly use 2 dollar bills.
The Venn diagram of things I learn on HN and things I expected to learn on HN has an ever decreasing intersection.
