Some years ago I stopped into a Taco Bell and I bought a Taco. I tried to pay with a $2 bill. The kid laughed at me and said something like, "I'll give you the opportunity to pay with real money or I'm calling the cops."
I chuckled because I was a police officer myself. I asked boldly for him to verify with a manager that $2 bills are real. The manager did not believe it and the cops were called.
Laughing, I sat down and waited. The young police officer showed up and he did not believe that $2 bills were real. I got worried. I asked him to call a Sgt which he did. The Sgt was unsure and made a couple phone calls. This was a few years before smart phones. My taco was cold. I still shake my head at the stupidity of it all.
A couple weeks ago I paid for something with a $2 bill. The person didn't know they were a thing. Literally the only two times I've ever used a $2 bill.

I took fifty of them to Europe to use on a Mediterranean cruise for tips. Nobody there had a problem. They loved them.

They take anything up here, even fake birch bark bills.
Had no problem passing mine off a few weeks ago, course the counter person was an older, mature lady.

Having that much desire to buy Taco Bell "food" is impressive in a certain way.

I ride the exercise bike at the gym. Up front there is a bank of 5 tvs, you are going to watch tv if you like it or not. One day, on one tv the Ellen show was on. She had two famous young actresses on, I don't know who they were. Ellen had a science quiz, they would win a prize if they could answer the question. The question was "At what temperature does water freeze?" The two gals looked around in bewilderment. They didn't even understand the question. I could have answered that one when I was 7 years old.
Unbelievable how stupid many of the young people are today.

I spend them now and then. Other than some kid at the register saying how cool they are, I have not had any issues.
