    Did you know that in the German Democratic Republic they really did this to track money? (I think they mostly did it to illegal western DM though)

      I have never seen a $2 bill.

        Hmm I thought they were out of production too. I very rarely see $2 bills.

          In sweden our 500,100 and 50 skr bills has had a holografic stripe added to make counterfeiting harder

          But the easies (and most done) bill to counterfeit is the 20 skr and that one is unchanged

          BTW: 1$=8 SKR

            So I haven't completely lost it. Or at least I'm not the only one who has lost it.

              I heard this morn that the new $20's are going to have a peach "strip" down the middle with some lighter greens on each side to "go along with" the tradational green. Also they're goning to be in circulation by the end of this year...

              I have never seen a $2 bill.
              The last $2.00 bill that I saw was a '95 series; I don't actually know if they are in production still or not, though the article would seem to suggest that they are...

                They haven't changed our dear Gustav Vasa(SEK1000) either!

                But that note is in my opinion a holy one!

                  The 2 dollar bill is for bets at horse and dog tracks....

                    Is it possible that the 2 was not a widely used bill? I remember as a kid having a ton of 1s, but never any 2s.

                      You have to request the $2 bill from banks, stores do not normally carry them. They are more of a collector's item or special purposes use bill more than the other currencies.

                            So it really does exist. Then maybe there's still hope for elves, gremlins and eskimos too.
