“Quick Gun”!!! Finally, and “Goemon” another visual feast by the director of “Casshern” »

Let’s get one thing straight first: Yes, I live in South Korea, but I’m affiliated with the US military bases scattered around the peninsula, and so I have access to American moola.

With that said, I am now a proud and happy owner of a $2 bill, and I type this with a big smile on my face. See, the military bases do not use pennies except at post offices (thank goodness, I suppose), and $2 are something of a rarity to many people here. Including me. My mother has one, but she refuses to let me have hers. Ever since her blunt refusal, I’ve been dying to have a $2 of my own.

I finally got my chance! A friend of mine went to California for a week, and he asked what I wanted from California. You can guess what my request was, and he granted it! Booyah! I told my mother, and she asked, “Where did you buy it?” I smugly told her that I got it for “free”. Then she said, “Ask him to get more for your aunts and uncles. We like to keep it in our wallets for good luck, you know.”

Uh, uno momento, Mother. My friend’s not going back to the states any time soon, so sorry to burst your bubble, haha. But yay! If that entire thing about the good luck is true . . . well I need some luck right now. I’m not one for superstitions, but having that $2 bill did bring something similar to luck: pure, unadulterated joy!

@TARA: is the back of your 2dollar bill colored?! O_o

50 cent coins are easy to get.


They still make these in limited amounts, can get them from the bank.


You can probably go to the bank and get them.

Nope.  Mine’s not coloured.  I wished, though!


I know they’re rare but they really don’t bring luck. haha


I saw two of them sitting on a table as part of a tip at a restaurant once. I was half tempted to put four $1 bills down and pick up the two $2 bills, but I would have felt bad for stealing the waitress’ awesome tip.


Do they still make those?


Man now i really want one!
