I have several $2 bill my dad kept from the early 1960’s.
Should I spend them at McDonald’s or list on eBay?
How much would they have to sell for? I know eBay gets their cut and I have to mail them. I don’t want to lose money.
Reported for forum change.
Spend 'em at McDonald’s, It’s hilarious when the cashier has never seen a $2 bill and calls the police.
$3-5 depending on condition.

I have a couple of 1928 red-seal $2 bills, but they’re in terrible shape.
I’ll check. I think mine have a red seal.
I’m not sure why my dad kept them. It may have been the serial numbers that caught his attention.
If I list on eBay, then I’ll have to include shipping charges. At least $3 to use a padded envelope.
Is it legal to scan the bill for the listing?
Hilarious indeed:
No.
Yes, you can.

However, good luck attempting to scan US currency. Most (all?) scanners and photocopiers will not scan currency. Even quality graphics programs like Photoshop will not work with scanned currency images. The best you might be able to do is just take a digital image of the currency.
I found eBays policy. I can take a picture of the bills.
I’ll look at other people’s listings and check the completed selling price of $2 bills.
I’d prefer to get these in a collector’s hands. My dad did go to the trouble of saving these bills sixty years ago. $2 was like $10 in todays money.
But, it’s lunch time and I’m hungry. 
This guy wants five bucks for an early 1960’s $2 bill. Ungraded and a circulated bill. Red Seal

Not going to be a problem with 1960s currency. I’m pretty sure they did not have scanners back then let alone the Eurion Constellation on the currency.
That’s hysterical! Great clip.
I used to give my kids their allowance in twos (yeah, it’s a dad kind of thing).
Once, I didn’t have any and my 6-year-old son was disappointed. I asked why he cared and he explained “I like to find a clerk under twenty and then confuse them.”
I might have said “Iss all about the Jeffersons, bay-bee!”
In the little town where I grew up, there was a courtly old gentleman who would get a stack of new $2 bills from the bank, take them to a local print shop and have them gummed along the top edge like checks. He delighted in tearing them off to pay for stuff, and seeing the confused/suspicious reaction of younger (and dumber) sales clerks, waitresses, etc.
Don’t look at what people are asking. Look at completed purchasession where somebody actually bought the item. Anyone can list an item for any asking price, that doesn’t mean someone will pay that price.
As an alternative to Ebay, why not consider Facebook Marketplace?
We’ve been organizing our basement. I’ve sold several things via Facebook, and it was very easy. Meet the people at a Sheetz (it’s a thing, since there are security cameras) and exchange item for cash. Save on shipping, no fees, easy listing.
