Yes I have done it! I have officially stopped carrying one dollar bills and have switched to two dollar bills, and one dollar coins. So far the reaction has been positive. My coworkers have been supportive, even trading some of their obsolete one dollar bills for twos and coins. The people behind the register have proven to have humorous responses with the two dollar bills. One was amazed that I was spending anything that old. I had to break the news to her that they were still in circulation and that the bill I was spending was new. Then another was really surprised. She said it was the first she had ever seen, another was thrilled to see and and when I went back to the store to get something else, they produced the bill for my inspection, to let me know they remembered me. Now just to get others doing it.
So go to the bank, pickup some twos and start spending! This will only work if we all spend money with $2 bills and $1 coins. Death to the $1 bill. They are too expensive and I am tired of them. Long live the $2!
