Is that an uncirculated series 2017A $2 note in the background? 
I love the pencil and the note. (Fun Fact: Many banks today carry $2 bills. Just ask the teller the amount you want to withdraw.)

It’s not uncirculated. $2 bills are kinda my thing. I do all of my tipping in stacks of $2 bills. Restaurants, marina, workers, etc. Makes everyone happy. And I get to be the $2 dude.
I get them from my bank in stacks/bands of 100.

Wow… the $2 bill is still being made?? I had no idea. I thought it went out of circulation years ago (I’ve got like 2 of them in uncirculated condition, sequential numbers, stashed away in a safe box). I love the design. Such a classic looking bill.
Do you ever get weird looks from people or someone saying “Hey, is this real money??” 
Speaking of the Sharbo, I really like this line by Zebra. It has an interesting evolution. My only gripe with the Sharbo X is that there’s no detent for retracted… so you have to fiddle with it. The early all steel etched Sharbo also lacks a detent for retracted but it seems easier to hit. The mechanism on the 3 I’ve gotten are all a little “clunky” while moving between refills, while the Sharbo X is super smooth. Have you ever tried to lubricate yours, Thom?

Yeah I have three from the first series and they all have a bit of a janky feeling to the twist mechanisms. Not horrible but not an awe inspiring twist.
Oh and there’s three things you don’t ask someone.
- their weight
- their age
- have you ever tried to lubricate yours
I’m calling your mother.
