Primarily, some 50 or more years of the saying "phony as a two dollar bill."
I liked them; I thought it had the most interesting art on the back (the signing of the Declaration of Independence) of any (modern) US currency.
However, I was a hotel cashier at the time they were issued; as a "professional" money counter, they were a pain in the butt, as there was no slot for them; I alwaye stuck them on the bottom of the 1's slot, and then had to remember count them separately (when I had them) or the bank would not balance. There were not enough of them in circulation (compared to 1s, 5s, 10s, and 20s) to warant wholesale replacement of cash drawer equipment. There were similar issues with 50-cent pieces and $1 coins.
