Why they still print $2 bills

spawnflaggersays...

I withdrew a bunch of $2s from local bank branch the other week.
many people actually think they're fake.

I think they should get rid of $1 bill, but increase minting of $1 coin, and increase printing of $2 bill.
(and get rid of penny, but that's another story)

Two dollar bills are simply tracers. In the late '80s and early '90s, they were given out as a means of tracking the actual physical circulation of currency. They were most commonly paid out by recycling centers .
There isn't any real demand for two dollar bills. They're just there, as long as you can spend them. As for getting rid of the penny ( ^above^). The unit of American currency has always been the penny Not the Dollar.
