The United States two-dollar bill ($2) is a current denomination of U.s.a. currency. A portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States (1801–1809), is featured on the obverse of the note. The opposite features an engraving of the c. 1818 painting Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull.

Throughout the $ii bill'southward pre-1929 life as a large-sized note, information technology was issued as a United states of america Note, National Bank Note, silver certificate, Treasury or "Coin" Note and Federal Reserve Bank Note. When U.South. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 beak was issued only every bit a United States Note. Product continued until 1966, when United States Notes were phased out and the $2 denomination discontinued until 1976 when it was reissued as a Federal Reserve Notation with a new reverse blueprint.

Equally a result of banking policies with businesses that have resulted in low production numbers due to lack of use, two-dollar bills do not circulate as well every bit other denominations of U.S. currency. This comparative scarcity in circulation, coupled with a lack of public noesis that the neb is even so in production and circulation, has also inspired urban legends about its authenticity and value and has occasionally created issues for those trying to use the bill to make purchases. The apparent scarcity of the $2 bill, in spite of its product figures, too means that large numbers of the notes are taken out of apportionment and collected past many people who believe the bill to be rarer than it actually is.^[two]

Denomination overview [edit]

The denomination of ii dollars was authorized nether a congressional act, and offset issued in March 1862.^[three] The denomination was continuously used until 1966; by this fourth dimension the United States Note was the but remaining class of U.Due south. currency the two-dollar nib was assigned to. In August 1966, the Treasury Department discontinued product of the $2 and $5 denominations of United states Notes. While the $five denomination had been issued simultaneously every bit a Federal Reserve Notation, a United States Note and a silver certificate, the $2 denomination was not immediately reassigned to the Federal Reserve Note class of The states currency and was thus fully discontinued. The Treasury cited the 2-dollar note's low apply as the reason for not immediately resuming employ of the denomination. Product of the two-dollar denomination was resumed in December, 1975 and the ii-dollar nib was finally reissued in the spring of 1976 as a Federal Reserve Annotation with a new opposite design featuring John Trumbull'south depiction of the drafting of the The states Proclamation of Independence, replacing the previous design of Monticello. The two-dollar note has remained a current denomination of U.Due south. currency since that fourth dimension.^[4] Information technology was estimated at the time that if two-dollar notes replaced approximately one-half of the one-dollar notes in apportionment, the federal regime would be able to relieve about $26 million in 1976 dollars ($118 million adapted for inflation)^[5] over the period from 1976 to 1981, due to reduced production, storage, and aircraft costs.^[6]

Nonetheless, due to their express use, 2-dollar notes are non printed as often in a new series equally other denominations, which are produced according to demand.^[7] Near beak acceptors found in vending machines, self checkout lanes, transit systems and other automated kiosks are configured to accommodate two-dollar bills, even if the fact is not stated on the label.^[8] Although they are more often than not bachelor at almost banks, ii-dollar notes are usually non handed out except upon specific asking by the customer, and may require the teller to make a trip to the vault, or order the desired corporeality if none are nowadays at the branch.^[9]

Rarity [edit]

Printing $2 bills is twice every bit cost-constructive for the government every bit printing $1 notes, since they both cost the same corporeality (vi.2 cents per bill) to manufacture,^[ten] only the public has not circulated them as widely. During the Corking Depression, few Americans had enough money to require $ii notes. In the center of the 20th century, $2 bills were oftentimes used for betting on horse racing, tips at strip clubs and for bribery when politicians wanted votes (though this is most probable an urban legend), so acquired a negative reputation. During World War II and later, US Servicemen were frequently paid with $2 bills, and as a result the notes often saw use at canteens, USO clubs, post exchanges and commissaries.^[xi] Many people believe that the 1976 serial notation with its unusual reverse design was a special, limited issue produced for the U.s. Bicentennial; this, combined with the earlier discontinuation of the denomination, gave the impression these notes might be valuable every bit collector'southward items, and contributed to hoarding. Today, the full general public is all the same largely unfamiliar with the notes considering they are not widely circulated and continue to exist frequently hoarded.^[12]

At that place remains a mutual misconception that the $two note is no longer being produced,^[thirteen] though $ii notes have been printed since 1862, except for a 10-year hiatus between 1966 and 1976. The U.S. treasury reports that $i,549,052,714 worth of $2 bills were in apportionment worldwide as of April 30, 2007.^[13]

Things such as unusual series numbers (example: A11111111A) and replacement notes designated past a star in the serial number can raise the collector value. "Collectible" or "enhanced" two-dollar bills, commemorating America's national parks and other places, people and events, have been made and sold past money dealers and others in recent years simply by adding color, special graphics or color printed plastic overlays onto regular issue two-dollar bills past using calculator printers. The creators and marketers of many of these bills unscrupulously imply that they are authorized or issued by the federal government; nevertheless, no "collectible" or "enhanced" two-dollar bills have been authorized past the Us Treasury, the Bureau of Engraving and Press (BEP) nor any other government agency and have no value to a higher place their $2 confront on the collectors' market place.^[14]

Certain conventions and tourism/convention bureaus capitalize on the scarcity of $2 bills in circulation, encouraging convention attendees and tourists to spend $2 bills in order to illustrate to the host communities the economic impact that the conventions and tourism bring. Sometimes known as "SpendTom" campaigns, the $ii bills linger in the community equally a abiding reminder. Some campaigns encourage people to participate in a chase for the bills in order to win prizes.^[15]

History [edit]

Large-sized notes [edit]

(approximately seven.4218 × three.125 in ≅ 189 × 79 mm)

In March 1862, the first $ii bill was issued as a Legal Tender Annotation (United states of america Note) with a portrait of Alexander Hamilton; the portrait of Hamilton used was a contour view, unlike from the familiar portrait in use on the small-sized $10 nib since 1928.

By 1869, the $2 United States Notation was redesigned with the at present-familiar portrait of Thomas Jefferson to the left and a vignette of the U.s.a. Capitol in the heart of the obverse. This note also featured greenish tinting on the pinnacle and left side of the obverse. Although this note is technically a United states of america Note, TREASURY NOTE appeared on information technology instead of UNITED STATES NOTE . The contrary was completely redesigned. This series was again revised in 1874; changes on the obverse included removing the light-green tinting, calculation a ruddy floral pattern effectually WASHINGTON D.C. , and changing the term TREASURY NOTE to U.s. Note . The 1874 design was as well issued as Series of 1875 and 1878, and by 1880, the cerise floral design around WASHINGTON D.C. on the United States Note was removed and the series numbers were inverse to blue. This annotation with the red floral design was too issued as Series of 1917 but with ruby series numbers by that time.^[16]

National Bank Notes were issued in 1875 and characteristic a adult female unfurling a flag and a large sideways '2' ("Lazy Duce") on the obverse. The reverse has the king of England smoking tobacco and an eagle with a shield.^[17] In 1886, the outset $2 argent document with a portrait of United States Civil War General Winfield Scott Hancock on the left of the obverse was issued. This design continued until 1891 when a new $2 Argent Certificate was issued with a portrait of U.S. Treasury Secretary William Windom in the center of the obverse.^[18] Two-dollar Treasury, or "Money", Notes were first issued for regime purchases of silver bullion in 1890 from the silver mining manufacture. The reverse featured large wording of 2 in the center and a numeral 2 to the correct surrounded by an ornate design that occupied nearly the entire note. In 1891, the reverse of the Serial of 1890 Treasury Notation was redesigned because the treasury felt that it was too "busy", making it too piece of cake to counterfeit. More open space was incorporated into the new design.^[nineteen]

In 1896, the "Educational Series" Argent Certificate was issued. The entire obverse of the note was covered in artwork with an allegorical figure of science presenting steam and electricity to commerce and manufacture. The reverse of the note featured portraits of Robert Fulton and Samuel F. B. Morse surrounded past an ornate design that occupied nearly the entire note. By 1899, however, The $ii Argent Certificate was redesigned with a small portrait of George Washington surrounded past allegorical figures representing agriculture and mechanics.^[20] Large-sized Federal Reserve Bank Notes were issued in 1918. Each notation was an obligation of the issuing Federal Reserve Bank and could merely be redeemed at the respective bank. The obverse of the annotation featured a borderless portrait of Thomas Jefferson to left and wording in the unabridged eye. The reverse featured a Globe War I battleship.^[21]

Small size notes [edit]

(6.xiv × 2.61 in ≅ 156 × 66 mm)

1928–1966 [edit]

In 1928, when all U.S. currency was changed to its electric current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a United states of america Annotation. The obverse featured a cropped version of Thomas Jefferson'southward portrait that had been on previous $2 bills. The contrary featured Jefferson'south abode, Monticello. Equally with all United States Notes the treasury seal and serial numbers were red. The Series of 1928 $2 beak featured the treasury seal superimposed by the United States Notation obligation to the left and a big grayness TWO to the right.^[22]

Beginning in the 1950s, product of $2 bills began to decrease. The relative scarcity of the notes led some to first saving any they received, with the inevitable result that the bills became less common in circulation.^{[ citation needed ]}

In 1953, the $2 bill, forth with the $5 United States Note, received minor design changes. The treasury seal was made smaller and moved to the correct side of the bill; it was superimposed over the gray word Two . The Usa Note obligation now became superimposed over a gray numeral 2. The reverse remained unchanged.^[23]

The last change to $two United states of america Notes came in 1963 when the motto IN GOD WE TRUST was added to the contrary over the Monticello.^[24] Farther, considering silver certificates were soon to be no longer redeemable in silver, WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND was removed from the obverse. In August 1966, the $2 and $v denominations of United States Notes were officially discontinued, though they both remain legal tender.

1976–current [edit]

Series 1976 start twenty-four hour period of issue $two notation with a canceled JFK postage stamp.

On Nov iii, 1975, Secretarial assistant of the Treasury William East. Simon announced the reissuance of the $2 notation equally a cost-saving measure; the new $2 notes would exist available from banks on Apr xiii, 1976, Thomas Jefferson's altogether.^[25] Series 1976 $ii bills were partially redesigned and reissued every bit a Federal Reserve Notation. The note retains the same portrait of Jefferson, and the basic design of the obverse remains unchanged since 1928. The treasury seal and serial numbers are printed in green ink, replacing the blood-red used on the previous U.s. Note. Since the reintroduction of the annotation coincided with the United States Bicentennial, it was decided to apply a bicentennial-themed design on the reverse. The beak was not issued specifically to celebrate the bicenntenial, equally is widely causeless. An engraved rendition (not an exact reproduction) of John Trumbull's Declaration of Independence replaced Monticello on the reverse. Starting time-day problems of the new $2 bills could exist taken to a post function and stamped with the engagement "April 13 1976". The BEP produced a total of 590,720,000 notes from Series 1976, the terminal run printed in 1978.

Currently, stamped Serial 1976 $ii notes typically trade for most twice their confront value. If the bills were stamped in a metropolis with an unusual name, the value may be slightly higher. All the same, no first-twenty-four hours-issued 1976 $2 bills with postage stamps are especially rare or valuable.

Despite their age, well-baked, uncirculated Serial 1976 $2 notes are non uncommon and are non specially valuable. More than half a billion series 1976 $ii notes were printed and a very large number were saved and hoarded upon their original issue. A typical, single uncirculated 1976 $2 bill is worth only slightly above $2 face up value. An average circulated Series 1976 annotation has no boosted value to a higher place its $2 face up.

In 1996 and 1997, 153,600,000 bills were printed^[26] as Serial 1995 for the Federal Reserve District of Atlanta. Outset with Series 1995, all $two notes have been produced at the Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. In 2004, 121,600,000 of the Series 2003 bills were printed for the Federal Reserve District of Minneapolis. An issue of Series 2003A $2 bills was printed from July to September 2006 for all twelve Federal Reserve Banks. In all, 220,800,000 notes were printed.^[27]

In February 2012, the BEP printed 512,000 Series 2009 $2 Star Notes, in apprehension of more regular runs being printed later in 2012. Series 2009 $2 bills were issued to banks during the autumn of 2012.^{[28] [29]}

In November 2013, the BEP began printing Serial 2013 $2 notes for the Federal Reserve Depository financial institution of Atlanta; these notes entered circulation in early 2014. A full of 44,800,000 notes were ordered for fiscal year 2014, which ran from Oct 2013 through September 2014.^[30] Serial 2017A $2 notes were kickoff issued to banks in December 2019.

Visual chronology [edit]

A chronological brandish of the American two-dollar bill.

The design of two-dollar bill throughout the history of the United States.

Usage [edit]

A series 1976 $2 nib, heavily yellowed and worn from over iv decades of circulation and use.

Because $2 bills are uncommon in daily use, their apply tin can make a particular group of spenders visible. A documented instance of using two-dollar bills to send a bulletin to a community is the instance of Geneva Steel and the communities in the surrounding Utah County. In 1989, Geneva Steel paid its employee bonuses in $ii bills. When the bills began to appear in different places, people recognized the importance of the visitor to the local economy.^[35]

Use of the $two bill is also existence suggested past some gun rights activists to bear witness support for Second Amendment rights, especially at stores that allow open deport or concealed deport of weapons on their premises.^[36] Two-dollar notes take besides seen increased usage in situations where tipping is encouraged, especially in gentlemen's clubs. This is due to the idea that tips will increase considering of the ease of use of a single, higher-denomination bill as the everyman common note in use.^[37]

The utilise of the $2 pecker is pop amidst fans and alumni of Clemson Academy, who often bring notes with them when traveling to academy athletic events in other localities as a sit-in of their economic impact in an surface area. The idea was commencement popularized in 1977 when Georgia Tech had threatened to no longer play the Tigers in football and has since caught on as a token of fandom when traveling to other locations. Fans will oft stamp an orange tiger paw (Clemson'south logo) on the note as a sign of its origin.^[38]

During the 1930s, the $2 bill was often used at East Coast horse race tracks to make a bet. Considering of the High german and Jewish influence, the bill was locally known in parts of New Jersey as a "zwei-buck", and the upper correct corner "2" was sometimes torn off to increase the luck.^{[ citation needed ]}

Every bit of October 2013,^[39] MetroBuses in Greater St. Louis do not take $2 bills.^[twoscore]

In recent years, some individuals have go 'ambassadors' for the two-dollar nib in an effort to popularize its employ in everyday transactions by using them as oft equally possible, adding big numbers of the notes into circulation in the procedure.^{[41] [42]}

Incidents [edit]

The relative scarcity of the $ii beak in everyday circulation has led to defoliation at points of sale, also every bit overreaction by merchants and even attempted prosecution of the individual trying to tender the bill.

In 2005, a man in Baltimore, Maryland, was jailed for attempting to use $2 bills that the store and local police incorrectly thought were counterfeit because of smeared ink on some of the bills.^[43]

In 2016, a thirteen-year-old girl in Texas was detained past police for attempting to use a $2 neb to pay for lunch in her school's cafeteria. The nib, a serial 1953 cerise seal, while still legal tender, was sometime enough that the school's apocryphal pen would non work on it,^[44] as the chemical properties of the paper used for United states currency prior to 1960 are such that a counterfeit pen is unable to prove whether or not the bill is genuine.^[45]

Uncut currency sheets [edit]

Nearly of the Series 1995 $2 uncut sheets had a college suffix letter in the serial number than regular circulation $2 bills.^{[ original research? ]}

In late 1999, to gloat the new millennium, a unique run of 9,999 Series 1995 $2 star notes were printed for all twelve Federal Reserve Banks; the initial press of Series 1995 $2 notes for circulation was for the Atlanta district (F) only. Uncut $2 sheets from Series 2003 were printed for the Boston (A), New York (B), Atlanta (F), Chicago (G), Minneapolis (I), and Dallas (K) Federal Reserve districts; notes from the Minneapolis commune were the only ones released for circulation. Uncut sheets of Series 2003A take likewise been produced, although in this example circulating currency for all twelve districts has too been made.
