Do you have a $2 bill tucked away somewhere, perhaps forgotten in an old wallet or stashed in a drawer? If so, you might be holding onto a hidden treasure without even realizing it. While $2 bills aren’t as commonly circulated as other denominations, they boast a fascinating history and can carry significant value for collectors.
The backstory of the $2 bill dates back to 1862, amidst the turmoil of the Civil War. It was introduced as a strategic measure to alleviate the demand for coins. Initially featuring the portrait of Alexander Hamilton, the inaugural Secretary of the Treasury, the design of the $2 bill has evolved over the years, showcasing a diverse array of historical figures and iconic landmarks.
