You can sign up to be on the waiting list for a lucky Panda $2 note, with a nice red envelope and a serial number starting with '888'. I mean, it's a nice gesture, and maybe annoying the heck out of certain Presidents. The price for this $2 note + red envelope is >$10.
$10 is taking advantage.

It's not just me / the music videos I look up then, is it? I can't help but wonder if it's some kind of YT hive mind, bots, or Google's own algorithms pushing those comments to the top.

Rely on what that couldn't be better served by $1 coins?

Because they're doing what people do here so often - responding to the headline, not the 'article.' The headline and first sentence are outright lies. "...known for printing his own unique currency—$2 bills that he personally designs." Uh ... no? He doesn't print it, he didn't design it. "He doesn’t actually print official U.S. currency, which would be illegal. Instead, [he] purchases uncut sheets of $2 bills from th…

#129Steve Wozniak (the Apple cofounder) famously bought sheets of $2 bills, and had a printer perforate and gum them into pads. So he could literally tear off $2 bills, in front of people who might not even know it was real currency, to pay them. https://web.archive.org/web/20180311084811/http://archive.wo...
In today's stupefied America, it wouldn't be safe because the police will be called and the police escalate things into unnecessary violence. In the 60's through 80's it would've been fine, but not now.
