54. Got $40.00 in two dollar bills at my credit union today.

They had them in stock. The branch manager went so far as to select the cleanest ones for me, and explained that when the branch doesn't have them you can order. (10 day wait) She told me that if I wanted more she had roughly another $200 worth.

I believe that there are five Starbucks in my city. On Valentines Day I'll drive to four, putting 4 bucks in each tip jar with a friendly note attached with a web address that supplies the info. on the significance of the two dollar bills (or google instructions) and complimenting the company for their respect for the rule of law. At my nearby neighborhood Starbucks I'll buy merchandise of some sort and a large cup of coffee - paying with the new bills, and of course tipping.
