Malaysian RM2 note

Few weeks back I got a RM 2 note change from a supermarket. The very same day, I went to center point and decided to use the note to go to the restroom (Have to pay, nothing is free nowadays). To my surprise, the lady cleaner said, 'tidak buli guna ni', or 'this can no longer be used'.
So okay, never mind. I thought maybe I can use it somewhere else. Then after that I tried the amusement center, change it to the amusement center coin. The girl there also didn't want to accept the money as if its a foreign note.
I did a little research on the internet. I surf to the BNM(Bank Negara Malaysia) website. There's no telling that the RM2 note can no longer be used.
I never heard from TV or any other media that this note is no longer valid, like the RM1 coin. Looks like this leave me with 2 choice. To keep it as a collection or change it at the bank. Hmm, not sure if the bank still accept this. Someone humor me.
Anyway, for those who kinda forget what it looked like, here it is.
Why do we need to put the 'CONTOH' or 'SPECIMEN' word when we print our money? I give u RM2 if you can answer this.
