United States Paper Money Collection

The $2 note was first issued in 1862 as a United States Note (Legal Tender Note). It was used continuously until 1966 when the only class of US currency it was then assigned to, United States Notes, began to be discontinued. In 1976 use of the two-dollar denomination was resumed as part of the United States bicentennial ($2.00 is equal to two hundred cents) and the two-dollar bill was finally assigned as a Federal Reserve Note, with a new design on the back featuring an engraved reduction of the painting, "The Signing of the Declaration of Independence," by John Trumbull, replacing the previous design of Monticello. The original Trumbull painting portrayed 47 people, 42 of whom were signers of the Declaration (there were 56 total). However, because of limited space on the not 5 of the 47 people in the painting are not included on the engraving (on the far left and far right of the painting) — The farthest four figures on the left (George Wythe, William Whipple, Josiah Bartlett and Thomas Lynch, Jr.), and the farthest two figures on the right (Thomas McKean and Philip Livingston), and seated in the left rear, George Walton, are missing in the engraving. Two other unknown figures are superimposed in the engraving in between Samuel Chase and Lewis Morris and between James Wilson and Francis Hopkinson, bringing the total number of figures on the reverse of the two-dollar bill to 42. John Dickinson is painted in the portrait, but was not actually present at the signing of the declaration.

First day issues of the new bicentennial $2 bills could be taken to a post office to get a 13¢ stamp postmarked "Apr 13 1976" — April 13 honors the original colonies and Thomas Jefferson's birthday (Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence)

This note is enclosed in a commemorative package (see cover and inside) to celebrate the year 2000. The Series 1995 $2 not has a serial number in the form of "2000xxxx✩".

In celebration of the new Millenium, the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) proudly presents a unique 1995 $2 note that begins with the serial number 2000. The BEP in Fort Worth, Texas produced 153.6 million Series 1995 $2 notes for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta during the fiscal years 1996 and 1997. These notes were printed for general circulation. At that time, there were no Series 1995 $2 notes produced for the other 11 Federal Reserve Banks. This Millenium Note is unique because no more than 9,999 Series 1995 $2 notes exist for a Federal Reserve Bank, except Atlanta.
