Re: 5000 Dollar Worth of a 2 Dollar Note Wooden Sculpture Believed to Bring Luck
2 Questions: I have a US $2 note, is it worth more than $2 ? (In Cambodia.) Should I frame it and put it on the wall to show that I'm extremely lucky. (Don't mess with me. )
Thank you.
Edit: 3rd possibility - have it tattooed on my body to ward off evil spirits.
All advice welcome.

I had some fucker at Llama Mart on Street 51 try to give me a $2 note as change, and I made him give me 2 $1 notes instead.Anchor Moy wrote:2 Questions: I have a US $2 note, is it worth more than $2 ? (In Cambodia.)
I've had trouble trying to spend them before here.

They are worth $2.50 or so if somebody is buying. I've tried to spend them before though and nobody would accept them.Anchor Moy wrote:2 Questions: I have a US $2 note, is it worth more than $2 ?
I'd like to see that sculpture when it's a bit more finished, it's at a very rough stage in those pictures.

My neighbour said she had been given one as change and noone would take it, either. In the end one of her workmates took it because he considered it lucky, even though it seems to be anything but.John Bingham wrote: I've tried to spend them before though and nobody would accept them.

Even in the USA, store clerks have called the police when confronted with one (this has a parallel in Youkay; try passing a Scottish
or Norn Iron banknote in London)
Here is a little about the $2 bill:

One version is that the big picture is an allegory; the men depicted were never all together in one place at the same time

An American two dollar note in Vietnam is regarded as luccky money and is often kept as such.
Re: 5000 Dollar Worth of a 2 Dollar Note Wooden Sculpture Believed to Bring Luck
I have several. I always take them as change if anyone is giving.
I have no idea why.
I have a silver certificate $2.00 note from 1953 and 1928A $2.00 red seal note.
Maybe worth..$2.00.
Not lucky or unlucky. It's a fukin $2.00 note. Period!
