1. I look through my change

And over the years come up with some old stuff. Two months ago I got a 1917 wheat penny in change at the grocery store. Pretty good shape. I’m not getting rich but I’m easily amused.

2. My grandmother (born 1903) to her dying day kept a 5,000,000 mark note from Germany

in the 1920's, from when she emigrated to the United States. We heard stories of people needing a barrow full of money to buy some butter.

3. I have a niece who is leaving her jerk of an ex who has a jar of solid silver coins

of varying ages from very early 1900s through the 60s. There might be some earlier. I haven't had a chance to look through them yet. There were some walking liberty coins and a few old half-dollars that were so worn it was hard to tell what they were.

Her ex took them as payment for a job and was convinced they are worth a very silly amount of money. I told her to get them appraised for the divorce.

If anyone is interested, I will share anything unusual.

6. I collect wheatie pennies and bi-centennial quaters

My grandfather had a great coin collection but it was stolen. I only have a few coins that he gave to me as a four year old child.

8. I assume it's a Mexican 2 peso note

although the Philippines also issued 2-peso notes, as well as various South American countries

[pansypoo53219]

10. no. it was an american 2 peso. 1800's, so who knows why.

11. The only 2 peso notes the US government issued were for the Philippines

The US itself didn't get into the currency printing business until the Civil War. Before that, paper money was issued by private banks. It is possible that private banks in places like Texas or California issued notes in peso denominations, but the Republic of Texas government issued dollar-denominated notes (which were essentially worthless).

Saying that, if you could give a description of your note, it would help in identifying it.
