The US $2 bill has been in production since 1862 but has very low circulation levels compared to the $1 and $5 bills. The circulation is so low that people often doubt the authenticity of the bill. One reason for the low circulation is that banks simply don't include the $2 bill when dispensing cash to consumers and businesses unless it is specifically requested. This low circulation has led some people to believe that it is a rare and valuable bill, resulting in hoarding and further reducing its circulation. Collectors are generally aware of this and do not believe the myth that $2 bills are rare and valuable—until recently. An auction last summer made many people realize the potential value of $2 bills and that is Conrad's blog topic today.

2 dollar bills are often seen as a novelty, but they can actually be worth a lot of money, depending on their age, condition, and rarity.
Conrad has been in the business for decades, and typically 2 dollar bills are only valuable if they are very old. The most valuable 2 dollar bills are those that were printed before 1917, especially those with a red or brown seal. These bills can be worth upwards of $4,000.
However, a 2 dollar bill from 2003 with a low serial number sold for $2,400 at auction in July 2023. So, even newer 2 dollar bills can be worth a lot of money, if they have a low serial number or are in mint condition.
If you have any 2 dollar bills, it's worth taking a closer look to see if they might be worth more than their face value. Here are a few tips for determining the value of your 2 dollar bills:
Check the seal color. Bills with red, brown, or blue seals from 1862 through 1917 are the most valuable.
Check the serial number. Bills with low serial numbers are more valuable, especially if they are in mint condition.
Check the condition of the bill. Bills that are in mint condition are worth more than bills that are worn or damaged.
If you think you might have a valuable 2 dollar bill, it's a good idea to have it appraised by a professional.. They can help you to determine the value of your bill and make sure that you get a fair price if you decide to sell it.
Here are a few additional tips we've learned here at CMA:
Don't be afraid to ask around. If you see a 2 dollar bill that looks interesting, ask the person who has it if they would be willing to sell it. You never know, you might get a bargain.
Be patient. It can take some time to find the right buyer for a valuable 2 dollar bill. Don't be discouraged if you don't get a lot of interest right away.
Have fun! Collecting currency can be a rewarding hobby. It's a great way to learn about history and to find unique and valuable pieces of paper.
