Did anyone uphold the Clemson tradition of taking two dollar

bills to postseason destinations with tiger paws stamped on them to Charlotte, Miami and Arizona? You don't hear much about that anymore. The university used to remind folks to take their $2 bills. Do they even make those anymore?

You can get them from your bank, it's a good idea to have them order some specifically for you, especially if you don't live in the Clemson area.

Yep. Wife got us some for OB and NCG. I believe she had to order them though. We used them mostly for tips. I saw several tip jars filled with them. Some bartenders even taped them into the tip jar them selves to show them off. Kind of a nostalgic tradition that unfortunately will phase out over time due the convenience of the plastic card.

Plastic and costs.. read where people bought their 81 OB tix for

$15-20.. 7-10 $2 bills
2015 Nat Champ $450 = 225 $2 bills
I know most show up with tickets, it was just an example that illustrates the point of why it is more difficult today.
Also, we don't have to show our economic impact to Phx.

it difficult ?
And why don't we have to show who we are & what our traditions are to the people of PHX ?
I took 100 of them total to split between Miami & Phoenix - everywhere I showed them people were interested and blown away by "who Clemson is. I had no idea." kinda reactions.
From what I saw - the tradition is alive & well and thriving, even.
Heck - made a TV spot below.
I think it has recently been on the front pages of a Boston paper (BC game), and in the NYTimes, even.

I think we can keep this one going if people care (which I sure think we do in this case). Even when I used a card (which I did most places), I still threw in a $2 with the tip. It's an easy fix.

Saw a Twitter picture of the donation box at the Grand Canyon. Filled with $2 bills. It was pretty awesome.

When we gave her our toll she grinned and said she had a drawer full. We passed around 40 of them. Even gave 3 to a Gamecock waitress in Crackerbarrel. She saw our Clemson clothes and remarked that she was a fan.

That was all the bank had at the time. I had a few bartenders ask me about them because they seemed to be everywhere, so I told them about our tradition. Needless to say, they now like $2 bills....

I think everywhere I went in Phoenix had some. The place where I picked up my parking pass had them binder clipped to their laptops on display. Most places I talked to had to stash them under the cash drawer since they had no place for them. Nice and visible 
I also tried to convince some bartenders to give them back to Bama fans... I don't think I had any luck with that one!

No. The school decided to end that tradition. It was stupid.
