In the past 20 years, the banknote, which is often undervalued, has gained some popularity. There were only 0.07 billion in circulation in 2004, a very small amount compared to the $24.2 billion in cash that year.<\/p>\n

\u201c$2 notes have been unpopular for most of their history, being viewed as unlucky or simply awkward to use in cash exchanges,\u201d the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) claims.<\/p>\n

In an effort to break the curse, superstitious people often tore off the corners of notes, which led to them being \u201creturned to the Treasury with corners torn off, making them mutilated currency and unfit for reissue,\u201d according to the BEP.<\/p>\n

According to a 1925 article in the New York Times, \u201cAnyone who sits in a game of chance with a two-dollar bill in his pocket is thought to be saddled with a jinx.\u201d Their poor reputation has caused them to be ostracized.<\/p>\n
