And they're still a pain to spend, because too many people refuse to believe they're real money. Or else don't want to take them because there isn't a slot in their cash drawer. I inherited a couple of bundles from my dad last year (he made $2 bills his "thing", much like Woz, because he enjoyed arguing with cashiers), and exchanged them all at the bank for "real money".
I believe that you have run into difficulty with some person(s) not understanding that $2 bills are real money.
I don't believe that they've been anywhere nearly as much of "a pain to spend" for you as you're stating. You're just gabbing.
