TIL Ecuador doesn't have its own currency and uses US dollars, but maybe not the same US dollars you are used to seeing. - eviltoast

    We also have a two dollar bill that is rarely seen. So rare in fact that I’ve read stories of cashiers calling the cops on someone because they don’t even realize it’s legal tender.

      In Portland Oregon (most strip clubs per capita in the country) it is traditional to use $2 bills instead of singles. It is extremely common to see two dollar bills in Oregon, I would bet a majority of two’s in circulation stay in the PNW.

      Here in Cambodia we have a dual currency system: you can pay in dollars or riel and get your change in a mixture of currencies.

      The $2 note is seen in businesses, especially money changing ones (from dollar to riel or vice versa), on display as a good luck sign.
