Grand Island Workers Get Bonuses in $2 Bills

2-dollar-billGRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — In a move intended to boost spending in the central Nebraska city of Grand Island, ammunition company Hornady Manufacturing has issued employee cash bonuses in the form of $2 bills, with a request from management to spend the money in town.

Vice President Jason Hornady said the company recently handed out $61,000 worth of $2 bills to its employees as part of the company’s annual bonus pay.

Hornady says getting 30,500 $2 bills to give to employees takes some doing. He orders the bills from a bank about a month in advance.

Hornady Manufacturing is one of Grand Island’s leading employers with more than 300 people on its payroll.
