$2 bill documentary
« on: May 18, 2014, 03:54:09 PM »
A documentary on the $2 bill that includes Clemson's place in the $2 bill lore. It would be neat to see this great tradition highlighted if this film ever comes to fruition. See link. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-two-dollar-bill-documentary

A summary of history from the Clemson University tradition's page. (Credit http://www.clemson.edu/about/traditions.html)

$2 BILL
In 1977, Georgia Tech decided to stop playing football against Clemson. In a show of protest, students and alumni stamped $2 bills with Tiger Paws and used them in Atlanta to illustrate the money Tiger fans spent at athletic events. Today, fans still use $2 bills when attending away games.

I remember using this going to the Gator a Bowl and Peach Bowls when I was a kid. Recently bought a paw stamp and some $2 bills as I will be going to the BC game this October in a Chestnut Hill for my first away game since the early 90's. Also have one framed in my man cave. Go Tigers!!

Where do you get the paw stamp? I would like to stamp a few.

Knickerbockers and Tiger Sports Shop both have them. I believe I got mine from Knickerbocker's a few years back. If I remember correctly they had three different sizes.

Is there a date set for when this thing is going to come out?

If I am not mistaken it is still in preliminary status and trying to get funding.

Yeah I saw the site where they need money to get it off the ground. Only raised around 3 grand out of the $14,000 they need.
