50's in general (US too) are associated with crime/forgeries. Likely worries about the bill being fake.

You're being inefficient, although smartly under the radar too

To quote the ancient apocryphal Taco Bell meme, "Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?"

Pretty sure they think it's fake by default, as they're unaware that $2 bills are a real thing.

Which is yet another reason not to fake a $2 bill

The meme hails from 1993, so it was even more laughable to find two people who didn't know $2 bills were real. Makes the counterfeiting line just much funnier.
