Не только нумизматы наслышаны о редкой и практически легендарной купюре номиналом 2 доллара. Если вы попросите кого-то из друзей, путешествующих в США, привезти именно эту банкноту, скорее всего они не смогут выполнить эту просьбу.
Далеко не все американцы держали в руках два доллара одной купюрой, ведь встретить ее в свободном обороте достаточно сложно. А те, кто пытался ею расплатиться, даже сталкивались с трудностями.
10 августа 1966 года Центральный банк США прекратил выпуск банкнот номиналом 2 доллара. Однако через 10 лет, в 1976 году, в честь двухсотлетия США была выпущена еще одна ограниченная партия этих купюр. Именно выпуск этого года считается коллекционным, а вот в денежных операциях он не был востребован. К 1995 году, когда выпустили новую серию, эти банкноты почти исчезли. Но в чем же причина?
С момента своего появления двухдолларовые купюры не пользовались популярностью у банков и населения. Объяснений этому есть много. Например, в большинстве кассовых аппаратов не было предусмотрено отдельного места для этих банкнот. Также бытует мнение, что двухдолларовую купюру можно легко спутать с однодолларовой, что влекло за собой некоторые неудобства.
С купюрой в 2 доллара связано также много легенд и загадок. Одна из них, например, гласит, что наличие этой банкноты в кошельке принесет больше денег и счастье владельцу. Некоторые, наоборот, считают купюру несчастливой.
Некоторые суеверия гласят о том, что стандартные ставки в американских скачках составляли два доллара. Если у человека было много купюр этим номиналом, его могли посчитать любителем тотализаторов. А учитывая запреты на азартные игры, какой гражданин хотел выставить себя в таком свете? При этом, есть поверье и о том, что ставки, сделанные в казино или на скачках двухдолларовыми купюрами, обязательно удвоятся.
Другая легенда связана с любителями дам легкого поведения. Дело в том, что во время войны во Вьетнаме представительницы древнейшей профессии брали минимальную плату за свои услуги в размере 2 доллара. Владельца этих мелких купюр могли ошибочно посчитать любителем доступных ласк. А в таком случае достопочтенный гражданин мог забыть о профессиональной карьере.
Двухдолларовая купюра была связана и с политикой. До введения в США запрета на покупку предвыборных голосов можно было продавать свой голос. Стоимость его составляла все те же 2 доллара. Следовательно, наличие этой купюры у человека могло означать то, что он продал голос и предал кандидата.
На популярность двухдолларовой купюры могла оказать влияние и ее востребованность среди барменов и официантов. Те старались дать именно эту банкноту на сдачу, чтобы потом ее же получить обратно в виде чаевых. Ведь согласитесь, намного приятнее получить два доллара вместо одного.
Непопулярна купюра у карточных игроков, поскольку ее номинал совпадает с младшей картой в игровой колоде.
Таким образом, мистические два доллара для кого-то являются талисманом, а кто-то считает их «черной меткой». В любом случае, для нумизматов эта купюра представляет большой интерес, ведь встретить двухдолларовую банкноту в обращении можно действительно очень редко.

Lucky 2.06.2017 15:18 Free medical insurance alternatives to bactrim Ya know, one interesting aspect of this to me is that, suppose an acquittal occurs (which is of course looking quite likely) – this will have happened withOUT the jury knowing anything about M’s activities and comments about street fighting, running fight clubs, attacking the bus driver and bragging about it, etc. (nor of the stolen jewelry and whatnot). So this carefully-selected (for non-knowledge of the case) and sequestered jury will come to this decision not even knowing that Martin was in fact, pretty clearly a “thug”, or at least a seasoned fighter who liked fighting – which obviously would and does strongly support Z’s version that he was attacked first. So that will make their acquittal verdict that much more compelling. And yet, sadly, I predict that still, it will not be accepted by the good reverends and other racists and race-baiters and assorted nincompoops out there.

Then again, they probably get Amazon and Vudu commissions and advertising dollars. Hm. My plan is to move my Roku 2 into my mom’s new place (up here) so she can watch Netflix, Amazon (Prime or VOD), Sky News, and whatever’s it the Newscaster app. Then I’ll pick myself up a Roku 3 for improved performance, both wireless and UI speed.

ultra slim diet pills side effects The IMF analysis said freeing capital flows could relieve pressure on the real estate market and give the Chinese wider investment choices. But it also warned the financial sector must be ready to handle huge surges of hot money. One way to do that is by letting exchange rates rise and fall according to market demand, rather than by trying to guide the movement of the currency as the Chinese central bank currently does. A flexible exchange rate acts as a “shock absorber,” says Mr. Rodlauer. Another way is by reimposing currency controls, as a number of nations have done when under pressure and which the IMF has endorsed as a last resort.
