Your $2 Bill Could Be Worth $4500

Your $2 bill could be worth $4500, that is if you saved them. Most likely, you don’t use $2 bills to buy something from a store. So, are they only worth $2 or could be they be worth a lot more?

So you would think those are worth a lot of money. Some are, but they made a lot of them.  And most of them aren’t the one that is worth the most. It's the original you want. An 1862 bill can start at $500 for a circulated note and more than $2800 if it is uncirculated.

So, what is the most expensive $2 bill? If you are lucky enough to have a 1890 Treasury Note version then those are worth some money. But it's got to be the right one. There are two version of this bill. One that has a brown seal and one that has a red one.  A circulated version of these bills are worth between $550 and $2,500, but if it is uncirculated it could be worth $4500.

Some other expensive $2 bills are from 1869, which could be worth $3800. Also, an 1896 bill could be worth $2100. Condition is everything. It's incredibly rare to find one uncirculated.

Finally, most likely if you have a $2 bill is still will only be worth $2, but check your collection because you never know it could be worth $4500.

This is a very rare find. According to Gainesvillecoins.com "During this time, the United States Mint was striking pennies from zinc-coated steel planchets. This was to help save copper for World War II ammunition shells. However, a small number of bronze planchets left over from the 1942 production remained in the mint presses. As a result, they were accidentally struck with 1943-dated dies."

My girlfriend had a collection of wheat pennies she got from her mom. When you come across a 1943 penny, you'll know. The color is just different. Now here's the deal. I went through over a hundred pennies in her collection and found one from 1943. So I got a magnet and called her over. That's when I said "If this coin sticks to the magnet it's worth about 10 cents. If it doesn't stick, it's worth over a million." The coin stuck to the magnet, which meant it was steel and that's why I'm here at work today.

If you're one of the many people that believe a zombie apocalypse is inevitable, you need to be prepared. And where you live is part of that preparedness. Best case, somewhere less populated where you could live off the land, and with a weapon stockpile. If you watched 'Last Of Us' that's how Bill and Frank were able to survive. So, a little luck and you’d be likely to make it through the apocalypse, at least until they discover a cure. Unfortunately, Florida is not one of the better options. You'd have much better chances in Wyoming or Alaska. Here's why.

For this study, we turn to data from Insuranks. One of the data points taken into account includes where a zombie outbreak is likely to occur. If you're a Resident Evil fan, you know to steer clear of areas that have a lot of pharmaceutical companies. Florida has a lot. Population is also a big factor. More people = more zombies = more danger. Yep, there's a lot of people in Florida. And lastly, a way to fight off zombies. There's where Florida has an advantage. Do we ever have weapons. But are they the right kind of weapons? There's data on that, too.

So where's the best state to be during a zombie apocalypse? Find you an area that looks like "Yellowstone".

California is last on the list. Especially around heavily populated cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco. Desperate people are just as dangerous as zombies. Keep your core group small. 

There's an old adage in prepping. If you don't have guns, you're prepping for someone who does. Even if you survive not being turned into a zombie, you need to survive the other people, too. A lot of the people surveyed think that Florida is most likely to start the outbreak anyway, so it's possible that none of that matters.

A lot of people say they'd have no problem killing a (former) loved one if they turned. Many also believed that they'd probably be the first to die.

It looks like The Walking Dead is a more likely scenario rather than the Clickers of Last of Us. Hopefully they're slow like Dawn of The Dead and not the speedy zombies Brad Pitt fought in World War Z. Either way, surviving the zombie apocalypse is going to be rough. Physically and mentally. Just remember what Zombieland taught us.

To rank the states, we analyzed 1289 Google search terms relating to zombie apocalypses from January 2019 through December 2022. We looked at the average number of monthly searches and compared it to each state’s population, per 100,000 residents.

In January 2023 we surveyed 1,047 Americans to get their feedback on zombies and preparing for a zombie apocalypse. Respondents were 48% female, 49% male, and 3% non-binary/non-conforming, with an age range of 18 to 79 and an average age of 40.
