What mortal sin did Thomas Jefferson commit exactly to land himself on the two-dollar bill, currency of the damned? (Oh right, he boinked his slaves). 

Still, in this No Child Left Behind world of ours, there are cashiers at some big-name retailers who’ll go so far as to call in the Secret Service when presented with they believe to be a made-up denomination of $2.

Hey Tom, at least you also have the nickel.

But customers won’t have any such headaches with Connect by Hertz, the pay-as-you-go, car rental club. No sir. These guys are ready for whatever you’re prepared to fork over when renting one of their Smart Cars for $2 an hour, be it the bad-luck bill or, better yet, some hot Sacagawea on Susan B. Anthony coinage.

The catch is, in order to land that special per-hour rate, you have to sign up for one of the club’s three membership plans, starting at $50 a year. Keep in mind, renting with Connect by Hertz means zero fuel and zero insurance charges, and you’ll find pick-up spots nationwide, as well as in London and Paris. There are 97 of them in New York City alone. 877-654-4400
