 Hmmmm...I remember a few years ago, December of 92 I believe, a bunch of
$2 bills started circulating all around downtown Baltimore. All the local
shops and bars were giving them out as change. They were almost as common
as ones and fives. Then as mysteriously as they appeared they suddenly
dried up a couple of months later. I always wondered about this. Was this
strictly a local phenomenon or did folks in other parts of the US see
them too?

 Hey, I still have one. For the curious it has Jefferson on the front and
a picture of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the back.
Mine is dated 1976 so there must have been a stack of them locked up in
a vault somewhere for quite a while.
