Hello, could someone tell me if this $2 bill is valuable? I know it's in rough condition, but I just have to ask...

In this condition, very little premium if any. My LCS would give this out in change.

It's one of those things where lots of people will probably say "yes, I'd keep it if I found it in change", simply because neither $2 notes nor red-seal notes are everyday sightings, but it's still not actually worth anything above face value. Especially with the frayed edges and missing corners.

Trivia time: the "missing corners" may actually be deliberate damage. Back when $2 notes were more commonly seen, a superstition arose that receiving a $2 note was bad luck, and to make the bad luck go away you had to tear a corner off. I believe one of the main reasons why they stopped issuing $2 notes in quantity was that they were (comparatively) too expensive to produce; they had to keep printing replacements for otherwise perfectly usable notes with torn-off corners.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

After reading this, I finally understand your recent threads asking about older notes that you've posted.

So far, the only value to the notes you've posted is sentimental, which isn't a bad thing. Most of the notes I currently own are similar in the fact that I kept or have them for sentimental reasons.
