I need some $2 bills. Do banks still keep them?

I believe most banks have them, you just have to ask.

I was also just sharing the story, it was not my personal experience, although I am about to hit up the dollar menu and see what happens.

It's up to the bank. Back home the local branch I used got used to me coming in every few weeks and buying out all their $2s. Usually it was about $30 worth. I'd use them around town for small purchases, at the coffee shop, tips, farmer's markets, etc. Good conversation starter.

They eventually got used to me asking and I didn't get funny looks all the time after a while. The tellers would end up trading them all into one drawer and they'd tell me which teller to go to when they saw me coming.

I never had any trouble spending them, though. I did have one old guy see me put one in the tip jar at his sandwich shop and he darn near killed himself jumping around out of the kitchen to get his hands on it he was so excited...

They do indeed. I live like four blocks from two different branches of my bank and I just picked up 50 of them. I'm going to enjoy spending them.

The bank also stated they can order a strap of them with a week or two of notice and that they keep straps of them around Christmas time. (a strap is 100 bills, so $200).

The Bill Goodman gun and knife shows in Cincinnati and Dayton charge $8 admission. Guess what they give you in change if you hand them a ten dollar bill? Yep, a ''Jefferson". The show promoter must keep some bank someplace on its toes since they have several shows around the midwest/south each month.

Probably because of the 2nd Amendment
