What is it about the two-dollar bill that makes it so appealing to the skin trade?

First, the strip clubs adopted it as a more efficient tip-dispensing denomination. And now, central Florida nudist resorts are making it their currency of choice, as a way to demonstrate how much their members pump into the local economy that hassles them so.

I’m thinking this naked ambition has something to do with Thomas Jefferson’s general regard for libertarian freedom of expression. Maybe also for his now-infamous bedroom activities…

In any case, these notable applications threaten to permanently brand the two-note in the popular consciousness: Jefferson bill = nekkid people! Chaz seems to think that the perceptional impact will be severely limited. On the other hand, Joel is sure that it will serve as a monetary scarlet letter — so, presumably, I’m sure he’ll be happy to give you non-reproachable change for all those double-greenbacks you accumulate during your next Sunshine State visit.
