Two Dollar Bill Treasure

This folded two dollar bill sits in a box in my camera closet in my office. I've had it a long time and to be honest I haven't run across one of these in circulation in a very long time. I think they are pretty rare.

Are rare treasure for sure. Very nicely macro'd photographed.

[Mags]

Great macro of your treasure! What's do you suppose it's worth now?

[Jean]

I have a couple of those also

[Susan Wakely]

Good to keep hold of old money. Do you know when it was last in circulation?

[Kate]

Nice composition and tonal range

[Jennie B.]

I have a few of these also, don’t really know what to do with them. You had a good idea to photograph it.

[Yolanda]

Great pic!

[Milanie]

I had almost forgotten about seeing any of these - it's sure been lots of years - that experiment didn't last long! Good you kept one.

@theredcamera thanks Ellen.

@marlboromaam If it was in excellent condition about $8 but this one is rough, folded, and has a corner torn so I'd be lucky to get $2 for it!

@jernst1779 Not sure why I kept this one... it is in rough shape.

@wakelys It has a 1976 date but not sure how long I've had it... it is in bad shape - folded with a torn corner but I guess I just liked it.

@k9photo thanks Kate.

@jb030958 Jennie... that is so true... it sticks out of a box of junk in the closet... the photo is about the most useful thing I've done with it.

@yolanda thanks Yolanda.

@milaniet You are right about that... I think I came across it in change once a long time ago and just kept it.

We have one two but bought it in Washington DC when we did a tour on how they make the money. I have not seen any in circulation.

[Bill]

I like the shot. Good job of capturing a not very common item.

[Jane Pittenger]

Nice dof

[GaryW]

Nice focus! When they came out the last time, my Daddy got some and saved them, giving my brother and I and our children some. I still have it.

[sheri]

Nice shot.

[Babs]

Definitely a treasure.

[Diana]

Such a beautiful close up and gorgeous tones.

My bank use to carry them all the time because parents wanted their child to take a $2 bill to school to pay for lunch instead of 2 $1 bills. I would get my grand boys new bills at Christmas! Fun!
