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.

Why are Tourre and Stoker considered too junior to bear responsibility? I wonder if their paychecks c. 2006 reflected their having played merely bit parts in a drama set In a board room far removed from the trading floor. The traders and salesmen whined that they should eat what they kill, lest they take their talents elsewhere. They won. And they ate plenty. And if along the way they illegally deceived some unsympathetic counterparties, and got caught, what’s the appropriate response? Should we throw up out hands and declare that it’s not really Fab’s fault, even if he lied. Not really truly. No more so than a thousand other guys who got rich playing with other people’s money. He was just a low-level guy who happened to leave an eye-catching paper trail. It’s not like he was getting paid to take risks.
