Which is the best serial number for a 2 dollar bill?
Any serial number under 100 is a good find. Any note dated between 1899 and 1928 that has a star symbol in the serial number could also potentially be worth a lot of money. The most important factor is always condition. Two dollar bills are not especially rare in most circumstances.
Why are 2 dollar bills considered bad luck?
A lot of the reason has to do with false rumors surrounding $2 bills. Back in the 1920s, $2 bills began to be considered unlucky because they were associated with bribery, gambling, betting, and other ways to lose your money. (Many $2 bills from the 1920s are missing a corner, as removing it was supposed to “remove” the bad luck.)
