二束三文ですけど。

「二足三文」と「二束三文」の違いを分かりやすく言うと、「二足三文」とは戦後から使われ始めた言い回し、「二束三文」とは戦前から使われていた言い回しという違いです。
  Comments:
Reverse kanji order, mark less-common as [oK].

Didn't try to confirm the accuracy of the source, but last ref calls "二足三文"  prewar and "二束三文" postwar.  If not [oK], then [rK] on the ngrams.

Encountered in the wild as 二束三文.

I see someone tried to delete this some years back(rejected), probably looked odd (so 'outdated' is likely correct). sankoku carries only the "postwar" form.
