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.

This has nothing to do with the process of mating itself; in fact, it starts well in advance of mating, as the males build up a store of sperm and then permanently shut their gonads down. The question wasn't so much how the males' death takes place, but why. What sort of evolutionary advantage could this provide?

Television can never capture the physical texture of an American golf course: the high trees, speckled with colour; the undulating greens, terrifying to an amateur; or the equally scary tee-shots over windswept lakes to pocket-handkerchief greens. It cannot capture the geese flying overhead in perfect formation, while the Stars and Stripes flutters above the clubhouse. And it cannot begin to capture the atmosphere in the crowd: the partisanship; the camaraderie; the fit-to-burst sense of anticipation.
