Can't get $2s
I went back to the bank today, and talked to the manager about getting $2
bills. He was a nice guy and called a bank for me, possibly a Federal Reserve Bank, to see if he could order $2s and said that I would have to get a brick if I wanted $2s because they were hard to get rid of. I told him that I wouldn't want to get a brick off ebay because they are not worth more than face value, and wouldn't want to pay more, and he said "They sell them on ebay? I never seen that before" Then I told him I wish banks would give $2 out as needed, and said that I had also been writing congress about bringing back the $500 bill and issuing a $200 bill because of inflation, and he quickly said "Yeah. And get rid of the penny too." and I said "And the $1 bill" and he agreed and I asked "How about a $2 coin for the $2 bill like in Canada?" and he agreed to that too. I said "You actually support that, too?" And he said "Oh yeah. I would be all for it" Then I left and he said he was sorry he couldn't help me out. But he was friendly. Not like how some people have atitudes over some of these issues. But at least he supports getting rid of pennies and $1 bills and issuing new $200 and $500 bills. I wonder if they would have to order full bricks of $200 and $500 bills. That could be a problem too. Unless people used those high denominations. This may be a good thing, right? Do you guys think people who run banks might be well heard on these issues? Speaking of pennies, some guy at the bank was getting two boxes of them for something while I was there. Tom |
