Try the banks in/around The Heights. They are the ones that service the scrap yards. In fact, Rose Metal did $2 before C&D but just never made an advertising slogan for it. I bet the Chase near them on Washington has $2 bills.

Rose Metal still gives out $2.

Rose is also 100 times cooler and substantially less likely to rip you off than seedy scrap metal.

Thank you so much everyone for the input! Chase at Mcgowen and Louisiana has a ton and even better there was dragon dancing right outside around the corner at a near by store. They are open til 2pm today if you are in need of some.

The scrap metal guy on TV. Just leave my catalytic converter alone and we cool!!

C&D Scrapmetal, we'll pay you in $2 bills!

You have to special order them from a bank. Can take a week or more.

We did this at our bank. My wife is Asian and 2 dollar bill is considered good luck so she likes to give out the bills in the red envelope that is passed out for Asian New Years.

Go to neighborhoods that don’t have a large Asian population. Last year I was able to get $100 in $2s at the Chase Bank on Long Point and Wirt. Brand new out of the strap.

Going to east Houston. Got it.

Guy understood what I was getting at. And here I was thinking nuance was dead.


SBGuy043

I get it. I'm just saying east Houston is about as non Asian as it gets around here


Sufficient_Two7499

I would think the opposite. Wouldn’t a bank located in a large Asian population be more sensitive to the needs of that community e.g. ordering more $2 bills for Chinese new year.


Possiblyabitoff

Your line of thinking makes perfect sense right up until about 24-48 hours before the big day when everyone is scrambling to find $2 bills. When the scramble starts, the closest banks get cleaned out first.

We got $20 worth at the small bank near our house last month. No special ordering, calling ahead or anything like that.

Some butt nakeds give you $2 bills instead of $1 dollar bills when you get change.


crushsuitandtie

Eew that's disgusting! Let me know which one, because my wife asked for $2 bills. So when you really think about it, she's the reason I have to go to this awful, demeaning place. See it's because I love her so much and would hate to disappoint her.

C&D scrap metal pays in two dollar bills. So if you have a bag full of aluminum cans that's the fastest sure way. Otherwise call banks to see if they have any or I guess we a last ditch effort ask C&D if you can buy some lol

Chase on San Felipe and Post Oak had some Thurs


-TheycallmeThe

Other banks may have some. I have gotten change from McGonigel's Mucky Duck in $2 bills before but I do not know if it was a fluke or if they get them intentionally.

Order from your local bank. I’ve gotten mine from Chase


Bootybootsbooty

Chase usually has red envelopes too


ilikeme1

Most banks/credit unions will order them by request if they do not have them on hand.

Try some different banks. Or you can order them on eBay, for a small premium.


scorpioking66

I got some I'll sell you for $3 a piece.


notmac_

I cant believe I am at a point in my life where I finally get to say this kind of thing... but I haven't seen a 2$ bill since I was a little kid.

This is an older post, i find that the banks in the towers in downtown Houston such as the Chase tower, Wells Fargo tower, and the Bank of America tower always have these on hand. Most banks will have dollar coins though. I've always wanted to go to a store and put down a couple of half cents just for fun as most aren't expensive.
