A Series 1976 $2 Federal Reserve Note with a green Treasury seal, issued through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City: letter J, number 10, shown on the black seal at left and on the "10" in each corner. Signed by Francine I. Neff, Treasurer of the United States, and William E. Simon, Secretary of the Treasury. Serial number J07971391A.

Thomas Jefferson's portrait has appeared on every $2 note since Series 1869, and the front of the $2 is the oldest design on current US currency. The back shows John Trumbull's painting Declaration of Independence. Few $2 notes are printed, and banks usually hand them out only on request, so they are seldom seen in everyday spending and many people simply keep them.

Standard small size, about 6.125 x 2.625 in.

Historical Context

The $2 bill returned on April 13, 1976, Thomas Jefferson's birthday, in the nation's Bicentennial year. For Series 1976 the back was changed from Monticello to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Printed in Washington, DC; the Fort Worth plant did not open until 1991.

1976 was also the year Stevie Wonder released Songs in the Key of Life (September 28).

Buying Power

In 1976, the average factory worker earned about $5.09 an hour, so this $2 note was about 24 minutes of factory pay, or about $11.85 at today's factory wage. By the consumer price index, $2 in 1976 bought about what $11.77 buys today.

Condition

[Est. F] Circulated. Folds. A small chip at one corner, crease lines where the corners were unfolded, and a stain at the upper right of the back. Not a star note and no errors found.

Legal Tender

Yes. United States currency issued since 1861 remains legal tender at face value ($2), whatever the series.
