Thomas Jefferson Page
The $2 bill has a long and unique history in U.S. currency, first issued in 1862 as a Legal Tender Note featuring Alexander Hamilton, with Thomas Jefferson replacing him in 1869—a placement that continues today. It transitioned from large-size to small-size notes in 1928, becoming known for its red seal Legal Tender Notes. Although often perceived as rare, the $2 bill remains legal tender and was reissued in 1976 as a Federal Reserve Note featuring the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the reverse. Today, it’s still printed in limited quantities and cherished by collectors for its distinctive design and historical significance.
