US $2 bills carry a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third president.

Observations about $2 bills:

Many people mistakenly believe $2 bills have been removed from circulation and/or are rare. In fact, the Treasury continues to print them every few years. Recent series dates include 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2013. $2 bills make up only about 1% of all bills in circulation, but even so that still amounts to hundreds of millions of them. Modern ones aren't rare or valuable, just uncommon, so feel free to ask for them at your bank and spend them.

1949 US nickel?

A 1949 US Jefferson nickel in circulated condition is worth its face value of 5 cents. However, if it is in uncirculated or mint condition, it may be worth more to collectors depending on its grade and any unique characteristics. It is always a good idea to have rare coins evaluated by a professional coin appraiser.

Who was the manufacturer of a nickel or stainless 12 gauge Columbia single barrel with a US nickel embedded on the side?

The Columbia name was used by several manufacturers. Other markings could narrow it down, but the most likely makers are WH Davenport, Harrington and Richardson, and Hopkins and Allen. It's unlikely that the nickel was put in the stock by the manufacturer. If it was made by any of those I mentioned, it will be nickle (or bright, unblued steel), as stainless steel wasn't available in the time period it would have been manufactured.


Whose picture is on a US nickel?

Is a nickel with a head on both sides of the coin worth anything but a nickel?

You may be able to sell it on eBay for under $5 (since these are readily available as novelty items for around $6). Because of the way the US Mint manufactures coins, it's almost impossible to have a real two-headed or two-tailed coin of any denomination. There are situations where you may see a mirror image on one side of a coin, eg a standard obverse or "heads" side on one side and a reversed incuse image on the opposite side, but it will not look like a two-headed coin. Certain coin designs may also have on the "tails" side a different person's head. I don't recall that ever happening with the US nickel, though I could be wrong. The other side will appear completely different, though, from the "heads" side.
