What can $2 buy these days?

Kurisu

Apparently, in my case...a little bit of happiness

Feel free to post something that made you smile for $2 or less.

2 bucks on the nose, a 1999 Clipped Nickel...worth every penny!

I can't even go to the dollar store and get something for $2 or less. Lol
Nice clipped Jeff!

divecchia

I like it. Nice pickup.

Soldi

Nothing, every time I get $2
I throw it away

Back in 2008/2009 I bought 10 of these in gem unc. for about $1.50 each delivered because I thought they were neat for such a low price. They were cheap on eBay at the time. The prices have since run up to $100+ in Unc grades. I sold them all after the run up so that makes me smile a bit!

Edit to add: I like your nickel for $2!

OAKSTAR

This one made me smile. Face value from a bank roll.

It surly is not postage. Lol

Nice find OAKSTAR.

I recall now that I once got a small broadstruck state quarter in change, no reeding at all, it was circulated and also badly scratched. Still made me smile though.

You can buy a two dollar bill.

I got a worn $2 bill in change. That's the best I've done lately.

Well that's not entirely true.
Some good karma came my way on a $500 Jeep CJ-7.
After taking with the previous owner for awhile, the price was significantly reduced.
Without giving too much away, it was less than $2.

Is that a legit clip?

Yes sir, a real mint error. And we don't need a scanning electron microscope to see it. 😉

I bought three of those back then. (Still have them).

Should have bought a bundle of 100.

Atleast I never got around to sticking one in my wallet as a conversation piece.

A nice profit could be made on 1946 Hungary Szazmillio B-Pengo (100 Quintillion) notes as well, they are trading today at 10X the money they were at just 6-7 years ago. I bought some of those cheap years ago and cashed in just like the Zimbabwe notes, but my buy prices weren't as low as $2.

You turned bad money into good money-sort of a philosopher's stone.

Bought for a buck. Sold for $2. Bought back for $300. Now it's in an MS 65 holder.... and to date, haven't found or even heard of another innovation dollar missing edge lettering.
Leave it to cherrypickers. They know how to turn a buck.

The occasional wheat cent or pre-60 nickel from the registers. Been a while since my last silver find.

Although, a couple weeks ago someone brought in 30+ dollar bills with...oops wrong forum.
