What does the letter E mean on a US 2 dollar bill?

Answer 1

It depends on the bill's date and where the letter is located:

• If the letter is inside the large black Federal Reserve seal on a bill dated 1976 or later, "E" indicates that the bill was distributed by the Federal Reserve District headquartered in Richmond VA.

• If the letter is next to the date on a bill dated 1928 (and only for that year) it means the bill was printed as part of the seventh different pair of Treasury Secretaries and US Treasurers to hold office while the 1928 series was being issued.

• If it's in one corner of the bill and has a very tiny number to the right, it's a plate position marker indicating where the bill was in the large metal plate that prints sheets of multiple bills at a time.
