Key Points

  • The $2 bill has been trending online recently

  • Many of them have suddenly flipped for above their face value

  • Acquiring new $2 bills is easy

Earlier this month, a Twitter post about $2 bills went viral. This sparked a sudden surge of interest in the uncommon currency, and many people began actively seeking out $2 bills to add to their billfold. It seems like a significant portion of these folks were willing to overpay for their bills, as we’ve seen an uptick of sales on eBay for $2. Notably, many of these are not collectors’ bills; it seems like there’s actual buyers for the common uncommon $2. Let’s take a closer look.

Two Dollar Bills Become Profitable

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen money resell for more than it’s actually worth. In February, we covered a sudden rise in sales for 2025 pennies following the Trump administration’s sunsetting of the coin.

And of course there’s always been a market for collectable currency. What we’re looking at today isn’t anything like that. While $2 bills might be uncommon, they’re certainly not rare.

So what’s going on? On March 10, an Elon Musk parody account on Twitter asking followers if they’ve ever seen a $2 bill. This completely vapid question generated considerable engagement, racking up over 70,000 replies and six million views in just a few hours

The tweet across social media for the next few weeks. Google Trends recorded a spike in searches for “$2 bills” over the next few days, and numerous slop-milling Twitter accounts began repeating variations of the original question to try and farm engagement.

A few days ago, Twitter user Jerimiah Lee Lancaster posted his strategy to use to use $2 as tips, triggering a new wave of discourse around the bill.

The point is, people have been talking about $2 bills lately. Enough to get them interested in collecting them for one reason or another.

$2 Bills Resell for a Profit

Sure, you might be thinking “can’t I just go to a bank and ask for a stack of $2 bills?” The answer would be “yes, obviously,” but a lot people never got that far in common sense class.

Following this month’s surge in interest, we’ve started seeing $2 bills resell for around $2.50. That might sound small, but considering that you can easily snag a bundle of 100 to 200 bills at a time, this means profits of up to $100 from a single bank trip.

Two Dollar Bill for Sale $2

Note that these bills are marked as “uncirculated and sequential.” This denotes that these bills were likely freshly acquired from a bank directly from the Treasury. The sequential serial numbers is especially relevant because it means these bills have little interest to collectors, who often hunt for unique or notable serial numbers.

The verdict? It might be worth asking your local bank teller for a stack of uncirculated $2 bills. You might be able to get them ordered for you, and you might be able to flip them for a profit.

Keyword(s): might. Interest is already waning on this trend, and it’s unlikely these bills will continue to resell for a profit. Then again, these bills are completely usable currency; worst case scenario you buy your lunches with them for a few weeks.

And that’s all we’ve got. This definitely isn’t the most lucrative flip we’ve ever covered, but it’s weird enough that we wanted to talk about it. If you want to stay tuned in on the latest flips, odd or otherwise, make sure you subscribe to our newsletter.
