Pushing 2 Dollar Bills

So I know little about currency. I hit a lot of banks, roll and box searching for coins. Many tellers over the years have tried pushing 2 dollar bills off on me. They continually ask me if I want any 2 dollar bills. Why? Apparently, the banks stock them for customers. If I take them, why would I or should I take them?

If they are trying to get rid of them because they are messing up the teller's drawer then I'd take some in order to do them a favor.
As for why, or what to do with them, use them as tips at restaurants, etc.
Yes, some tellers help me out with coins (without having an account) and I've taken some 2 dollar bills off their hands.
I called the mint a couple months ago to verify a billing address on an order. At the end of the call, the rep asked me if I'd like to buy an uncut sheet of 10 two dollar bills. Thought it was weird.
So the bills office was trying to sell you an uncut sheet of 10 two dollar bills? 😂 🤣 That's funny. Are you sure you were talking to the mint? 😂
If I get them I leave them as a tip or use as a donation as well. What ever works 💪
I was thinking collectors might be looking for special serial numbers.
Birthdays, anniversaries and the sorts, holidays
Ever notice that the mint produced "A LOT" of coins and some currency for commerce and general circulation that never (or rarely) get used for commerce and general circulation?
Tellers want to get rid of odd currency because they require extra book keeping entries
(more work) and there often isn't dedicated space for them in cash drawers.
I spend them to spark interest and start conversations which are enjoyable and occasionally leads to something profitable.
Exactly. Especially with coins. They want to get them out of their inventory. Less to count at he end of the day.
I seen alot selling for internet sales/tv. Now its getting released into circulation via the mint. I get making some $$$ but it got ridiculous...
The U.S. Mint has turned into the U.S. Post Office. Selling coins like the Post Office sells stamps!
The recyclers here pay you with $2 bills.
Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?
