I was once again rifling around in Snopes and I found this nice piece of cool story:
QuoteThe following is a true story. It amused the hell out of me while it was happening.

On my way home, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my wallet is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. So I went to order something that's $2 or under.
Me: Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito to go, please.

Server: Is that it?

Me: Yup.

Server: That'll be $1.04 please.

 I open up my wallet and give him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and...

Server: Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back.

He goes to talk to the manager. The following conversation occurs between the two of them.

Server: Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?

Manager: No. A what?

Server: A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me.

Manager: Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2 bill.

Server: Yeah, though so.

He comes back to me and says:

Server; We don't take these. Do you have anything else?

Me: Just this $50. You don't take $2 bills? Why?

Server: I don't know.

Me: See right here where it says 'legal tender'?

Server: Yes.

Me: So, shouldn't you take it?

Server: Well, hang on a sec.

He goes back to the manager.

Server: He says I have to take it.

Manager. Doesn't he have anything else?

Server: Yeah, a $50. I'll take it from him and you can ope the safe to give him change.

Manager: I'M NOT OPENING THE SAFE WITH HIM IN HERE.

Server: What should I do?

Manager: tell him to come back when he has REAL money.

Server: I can't tell him that, you tell him.

Manager: Just tell him.

Server: No way. This is weird. I'm going in back.

The manager approaches me and says:
 
Manager: "Sorry. We don't take big bills at this time of night. [Its was 8pm and the store was in an indoor, well lit mall with a 100 other stores.]

Me: Well, here's a two.

Manager: We don't take those, either.

Me: Why the hell not?

Manager: I think you know why.

Me: No, really, tell me why.

Manager: Please leave before I call security.

Me; Excuse me?

Manager: Please leave before I call security.

Me: Why the hell for?

Manager: Please sir.

Me: Uh, go ahead and call them.

Manager: Would you just please leave?

Me: No.

Manager: Have it your way.

Me: Isn't that Burger King?

Security comes in.

Security: Yeah Mike, what's going on?

Manager: this guy is trying to give me some... funny money.

Security: really? What?

Manager: Get this: a two dollar bill.

Security: Why would he counterfeit a $2?

Manager: I don't know. He's kinda weird. All he has is the $2 and a $50.

Security: So the $50 is a fake?

Manager: No, the $2 is.

Security: Why would he fake a $2?

Manager: I don't know. Can you talk to him and get him out of here?

Security walks to me and says:

Security: Mike tells me you're trying to fake money.

Me: Uh, no?

Security: Lemme see 'em.

Me: Why?

Security: you want me to get the cops in here?

Me: I'm just trying to buy a burrito with this $2 bill.

I show him the bill. He takes it and flips it over a couple times and asks:

Security: Mike, what's wrong with this bill?

Manager: It's fake.

Security: It doesn't look fake to me.

Manager. But it's a $2 bill.

Security: Really?

Manager: well, there's no such thing.

The security guard and I looked at him as if he was an idiot and not only did I get a burrito, I got a small drink and those cinnamon things for free. Makes me wanna get a stack of $2 bills and get a lot of free stuff.
TL;DR These guys don't know about $2 bills and think that its counterfeit.
