Or rather, don't.

Brett Sadovnick of Tucson Coin and Autograph, 6470 N. Oracle Road, filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about the full-page ad from the World Reserve Monetary Exchange that ran Jan. 18 in the Star.

Fashioned to look like a newspaper story, the ad sells $2 bills adorned with the word "Arizona" overlaid in a film that sticks to the bills and can be removed.

"The World Reserve Monetary Exchange has restricted the issue and release of the exclusive State $2 Bill Collection, so getting one would be like hitting the lottery," the ad says. "They are so scarce that those lucky enough to get them will feel like they were handed a million dollars."

"There has never been a resale value for that type of product at any collectible store," Sadovnick said. "It's just a regular $2 bill with (a sticker) on it. The U.S. government hasn't sanctioned it, and anything in the ad about the popularity or scarcity of it is misleading."
