Watching Fox news this morning and there was a story about a person who went to an Aldi grocery store and paid in cash. One of the bills was a two-dollar bill and the checkout person wouldn't take it as they thought it was counterfeit. After two clerks and the store manager all looked at it and still said it was not real. Somehow, they finally found out it definitely was legal tender. 
We always carry a few new crisp $2 bills with us at all times. We use them for pay it forward times. If we are standing in the checkout line with a few items and the person ahead of us has a cart full and tells us to go ahead of them, we reward them with one of these bills. Makes them feel good for being kind. Last year we were in our favorite burger place called Culver's. There was a young family sitting in a booth across the isle and had two young boys who were being little gentlemen. Quiet and nondisruptive. Another couple came in with three small children and sat behind us. Those three were loud, bouncing around on the booth seat just being annoying.
Perfect timing for us. I got up and walked over to where the well-behaved boys were and said loud enough for the other couple could hear us and said what good boys you have, and as a reward here is a $2 bill for each of them. As I went back to my seat, I could see the look on the face of the mother of the wild kids and was just waiting for her to say what about our kids. It was just a minute before the parents got their kids under control and all was quiet. Another older couple sitting diagonal from us looked at me and smiled.
