We receive many letters asking why the $2 bill is no longer in circulation. Contrary to the impression of many people, the Treasury Department did not stop circulating the $2 bill. On September 12, 1996, Robert E. Rubin, the 70th Secretary of the Treasury, was presented with a new series $2 bill. The Series 1995 notes were printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP) Western Currency Facility and bear the seal of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The $2 bill remains one of our circulating currency denominations. According to BEP statistics, 590,720,000 Series 1976 $2 bills were printed and as of February 28, 1999, there was $1,166,091,458 worth of $2 bills in circulation worldwide. The key for successfully circulating the two-dollar bill is for retailers to use them just like any other denomination in their daily operations. In addition, most commercial banks will readily supply their retail customers with these bills if their customers request them in sufficient volume to justify stocking them in their vaults. However, neither the Treasury Department nor the Federal Reserve System can force the distribution or use of any denomination of currency on banks, businesses or individuals. from US Treasury site

You can visit the Washington Square Coin Exchange @ www.wscoin.com to find reasonable pricing on most collectible coins and paper money. It appears that the 1953 red seal series of the $2 bill good to very good condition averages around $4.00-$6.00. Even when you get back to the first issues in 1928 they are going for less than $20.00. Hope this helps.

To answer fish bob's question, Thomas Jefferson's portrait is on the $2 bill. On the reverse of $2 bills prior to 1976 is an engraving of Jefferson's home, Monticello, and on the backs on 1976, 1995 and 2003 series bills is an engraving of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Just random facts from a know-at-all.

I have 4 sons who each receive a crisp $2 bill every holiday of the year (christmas, birthday, valentines, halloween, easter, st. patricks day, etc.) from my holiday loving mother-in-law. All 4 of them have a huge stack by now. She gets them at her bank.

She gets them from her bank? then she should be arrested. Once banks receive a 2$ bill they are required to send it to the mint to be destroyed. Same thing with the old 20$s and what not. Your "loving" mother in law, is guilty of a Federal crime

The $2 bill is worth less than two dollars if it's recent. I just came from the store and tried to buy milk with $2 bills and the guy behind the counter gave me a rough time before taking the money. He still doesn't think it's good money but I was only buying milk.. must have been worth the risk to him? I think they are pretty... like for wall paper or something. Not currency.
