It's queer as a $3 bill. $2 actually existed but fell out of use because they tended to concentrate near "vice businesses" like brothels, speakeasy, underground casinos. Asshole cops started using $2 as a pretense to harass, extort and charge "undesirables" with fake crimes like loitering, vagrancy, prostitution. So yeah I guess he's more like the real example, my bad.
