Where do $2 bills go in a cash register? - bonus from the 2 dollar bill documentary

[@FELiPES101]

I was a cashier for a summer and got a $2 bill once. My boss didn't know what to with it so I traded him my 2 singles for the 2. I still have it in my wallet years later.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

That's what happens a lot of the time. Thanks for commenting.

[@thenextgen1able]

I don't get the idea behind this. Most $2 bills aren't rare. Especially the ones most people spend. You can literally go to a bank and change out $5,000 for a bunch of $2 bills.You can buy rolls of uncut $2 bills from the treasuries website...What is the idea behind cashiers so desperately wanting a $2 bill? I suppose that's why they're just cashiers and not the managers.

[@hansonjiang7292]

People just don't see them too often, and rarely bother to go out of the way to exchange money at the bank for $2 bills. So like for me, I keep them like a collector's item whenever I receive one, even though I know they're common enough. It's just something different in life

[@diriangennicarao6075]

Here's a good topic for you to make a video on... businesses that use $2 bills regularly (like the magic shop), to make themselves stand out in the marketplace and make themselves memorable. It's a great, cheap, marketing ploy. I remember a strip club in Greenville, SC that gave $2 bills are charge after charging their cover to get in. I'll always remember that place.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Great idea, Paul. BUT... I already did one about businesses using $2 bills: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faK2XpKAmaaSgpo There's also a video on this channel which is a clip from the full film (also on this channel) about $2 bills in strip clubs. But I like the way you think! Any more good ideas? Send 'em my way! I'm sure you can come up with something that would be a good topic for a $2 bill video.

All the registers I've used as a cashier have had four slots. I put the $2s, $20s, $50s, and $100s, in that order, in the slot furthest to the left. Usually I exchange the $2 for two $1s since it makes tallying up the money for the shift report easier.

The average USA cash drawer till has 5 bills/5 coins slots. So, you have 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 cent slots (cups). You may find a lower tray with slots for checks, credit card receipts, $1 coins, rolled coins, and other. There are also other combinations like; 4 bills / 5 coins, 4 bills / 8 coins, 5 bills / 8 coins, etc.

[@rogerpedrosa1854]

A lot of people do that! I've heard the story many times. It adds to people work days, for sure. But you can just as easily go to the bank and get them instead of waiting for someone to spend one at your place of employment. They're not rare.

[@SOPARA862k]

If you have a 5 note till you should have slots for 1, 2, 5, 10 & 20, the 50 & 100's can go underneath as you don't need quick access to them for change, they'll be going to the bank. If you only have a 4 note till then keep 1's & 2's together.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

We hear that kind of story a lot. People cherish the bill, and we think it's what makes it special. That said, the reason people like your Dad keep them and never spend them is because they mistakenly believe they are rare or not made anymore. Neither of those are the case. Still, it's a bill with a lot of nostalgia and sentiment to it.

[@3DJapan]

Every register I've used had a slot for unusual bills like 50s or 2s or checks. Or they could be stored under the tray.

[@aloe7002]

i would start using $2 bills and half dollars, perhaps be the one who gives good luck and so other people can experience finding them

[@rarebrockstark6219]

Ain't no way they were trained for being on register without knowing where 2s go. At Culver's, we have slots for 1,5,10, and 20, with all the basic coins being there as well. Where the 100's or 50's slot would be is coin refills. ANYTHING that isn't a coin or 1,5-20 goes underneath the monee holder. Coupons go there, 100s go there, and yes, the $2 will be under the monee.

[@TheTwoDollarBillDocumentary]

Sounds like you're working on a register with just 4 cash slots. Most original registers had 5, and again, they were designed to have the two as one of the bills. But things changed over time, as did the need to make registers smaller (like yours). When that happened, the $2 was pushed out as a potential bill for a slot.

[@brysonrodden5112]

We have 5 slots, we put checks and coin rolls in the 5th and put any 2,50,and100 in the bottom

They usually get lumped with the $100s, either in a slot the cashier makes for large bills, or perhaps they too go under the till.

[@WildWombats]

Usually they go under the till, but that's more for security reasons so when we pop open the drawer it makes it look less worthy of being robbed.

[@janglenutter3820]

[@monacortez3945]

All this people make it soo complicated lmfao. I'm a part time employee manager at a fast food place. We keep our $2 on top of the $100 bills.

But I have a couple, so I'll just give them out and change or tell my team to give it out as change

The spot we would normally place $2 bills in we would stick receipts in it because like the rest of the bills debt, credit or EBT cards are commonly used. For the foreign change people sometimes bring us (sidenote: I've received Canadian coins because the patron mistook it for a quarter. British shillings because they thought it was a dollar coin, yes we also get those and Filipino, Argentinian, Mexican, pesos, dollars, pounds, and these as well ¥, I forget how to say this one) we too have a dedicated slot for those as well, we would place our pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, and foreign coins in that order This doesn't apply to *EVERY* market but some might have the same setup as ours does.
